1961 Map of Fultonham

About this map

Perry State Forest occupies a large portion of the southern landscape on this topographic survey, highlighting an area transformed by extensive resource extraction. The 1983 revisions, noted in purple, reveal the expansion of a Strip Mine and other industrial changes that overlay the older agricultural and settlement patterns. The map documents the close-knit communities of Fultonham, East Fultonham, and Saltillo along the border of Perry and Muskingum Counties, where family-named landmarks like Uniontown Cem and Wesley Chapel serve as anchors for genealogical research. Waterways like Jonathan Creek and Butcherknife Creek carve through the terrain, which is also marked by an Abandoned railroad line and a prominent Pipeline, illustrating the shifting infrastructure of the mid-20th century. Local social life is evidenced by the Grange Hall and Townhall, standing as civic centerpieces for the rural townships of Madison and Newton.
