1960 Map of Eaton South

About this map

The Preble County seat of Eaton dominates the northern landscape, where the Courthouse and Armory sit at the heart of the settlement. To the southwest, the terrain is shaped by the winding courses of Sevenmile Creek and Four Mile Creek, providing a backdrop for numerous rural institutions and burial grounds. Genealogists can find several family and church graveyards such as Gard Cem and Quaker Ridge Cem, along with the massive Mound Hill Cemetery near the city. This era reflects a landscape dedicated to community and youth, marked by the St Clair Springs Childrens Home and the Woodland Trails (Boy Scout Camp). The southern rail corridor is defined by the Pennsylvania railroad line passing through Camden, while smaller settlements like Muttonville and Sugar Valley dot the crossroads of an extensive rural road network including Daily Road and Oxford Road.
