1961 Map of Fultonham

About this map

The New York Central railroad corridor serves as the industrial backbone for this section of Muskingum and Perry Counties, threading through the valleys of Jonathan Creek and Buckeye Fork. The landscape is a study in transitional land use during the early 1960s, where traditional rural life, evidenced by landmarks like Wesley Chapel and the Grange Hall, exists alongside expanding resource extraction. Significant strip mining operations are documented throughout the south and east, reshaping the hills around Redfield and East Fultonham. Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds including Bethel Cem, Mt Horeb Cem, and Zion Ch Cem. The dual identity of Fultonham (Uniontown) is preserved here, alongside smaller crossroads like Saltillo and Sego, showing a network of small Ohio villages before the consolidation of the late twentieth century.
