1955 Map of Galloway

About this map

Big Darby Creek carves a winding path along the western edge of this mid-century landscape, marking the boundary between Madison and Franklin counties. The area is characterized by a transition from traditional rural townships like Brown and Prairie to early suburban nodes such as New Rome and Alton. The transportation backbone of the region is defined by the National Road and the Pennsylvania Railroad, which intersect at Alton Station, facilitating the movement of goods and people across the Ohio interior.
