About this map

The town of Greenfield serves as the focal point of this 1960 survey, situated where the Baltimore And Ohio railroad intersects the Detroit Toledo and Ironton line. The urban core is well-defined by landmark structures such as City Hall, the McClain High Sch, and St Benignus Ch, with the residential grid extending toward the Athletic Field and a local Hospital. This region of the Virginia Military District is defined by the winding course of Paint Creek and Rattlesnake Creek, which cut through the agricultural landscape of Madison and Fairfield townships.

Rural life is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Rocky Spring Cem, Gilboa Cem, and Dollenhide Cem. Smaller settlements like East Monroe, Centerfield, and New Petersburg are connected by a network of local routes such as Lower Twin Road and Taylor Road. Evidence of local industry is visible at the Quarry near Rattlesnake Creek, while a Drive-in Theater west of the city highlights mid-century recreation.
