1961 Map of Glenford

About this map

The Licking and Perry County borderlands in the early 1960s reveal a landscape of glacial terrain and early industrial activity. Near the village of Glenford, the confluence of two major rail lines — the Baltimore and Ohio and the New York Central — underscores the region's importance as a transportation corridor. The map highlights a transition between historical land systems, noted by the North Lands and South Lands boundary, which separates the United States Military District from Congress Lands. Ancient and natural landmarks like the Indian Mound and the distinctive heights of Buzzard Glory Knob and Eagle Nest Hill rise above the drainage basins of Jonathan Creek and Claylick Creek. Scattered oil wells across the townships indicate the energy extraction shaping the local economy alongside rural communities such as Brownsville and Linnville.
