1961 Map of Freeport

About this map

Freeport sits at the convergence of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the winding Stillwater Creek, serving as a central hub for this eastern Ohio landscape in the early 1960s. The area is defined by its deep historical surveying roots, where the United States Military District Boundary and the Seven Ranges District Boundary meet at the junction of Guernsey, Harrison, and Tuscarawas counties. This intersection of early American land divisions created a patchwork of family-named landmarks and rural institutions.
