1960 Map of Fleming

About this map

Watertown and Barlow townships characterize this portion of Washington County, defined by a landscape of intricate drainage networks like Rainbow Creek and Turkeyhen Run. The map illustrates the region's agricultural and industrial infrastructure in the mid-20th century, notably the Gas and Oil Field and numerous scattered Gas Wells. Transportation history is visible through the Old Railroad Grade and a Covered Bridge over Halfway Run. Local social life centers on small rural communities like Fleming and Churchtown, where several landmark sites are recorded, including St John Cem, St Johns Sch, and the Township Jr High Sch. Much of the southern terrain is preserved within the Wayne National Forest, emphasizing the transition from working resource land to protected forest.
