1944 Map of East Liberty

About this map

The New York Central and Erie railroads crisscross this corner of Logan County as it appeared during the 1940s, connecting numerous small agricultural hubs and rail stops. High points like Campbell Hill, Mt Miserable, and Bald Knob define the rolling drainage basins of the Mad River and Miami River. The landscape is characterized by its density of rural schoolhouses, including the Indian Mound Sch and White Swan Sch, indicating a well-established network of farmstead communities. A significant historical marker is the Treaty Line, which cuts across the central townships of Jefferson and Rush Creek. From the village of West Mansfield to the valley of East Liberty, the map records a snapshot of central Ohio life before the consolidation of many local institutions.
