1970 Map of Geff

About this map

Geff (Jeffersonville) stands as a primary focal point in this 1970 landscape, where the rural grid of Wayne County is defined by a mix of agricultural plots and intensive industrial activity. The area is heavily marked by the Clay City Oil Field and the Johnsonville Oil Field, with numerous wells and pipelines cutting across the terrain of Indian Prairie and Lamard. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad provides the principal transportation artery, passing near the Fairfield Municipal Airport and the outskirts of Fairfield. Community life is anchored by a dense network of country churches and burial grounds, such as Pleasant Grove Ch, Martin Creek Ch, and Cambell Cem. This era shows a transition where traditional landmarks like the New Salem Ch exist alongside modern features such as a Drive-in Theater and the waters of In-Dan-Wayne Lake.
