About this map

Greenfield dominates the northeast corner of this 1960s landscape, serving as a concentrated hub for industry and education along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The town's institutional footprint is well-defined, featuring McClain High School, McArthur School, and City Hall. Beyond the urban core, the terrain is shaped by the winding courses of Rattlesnake Creek and Paint Creek, which converge in the south toward Paint Lake.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds scattered across the agricultural landscape, including Tyler Cemetery, Crispin Cemetery, and Caldwell Cemetery. These markers, along with rural settlements like New Petersburg and East Monroe, reflect a traditional Ohio farming settlement pattern. Infrastructure like the sewage disposal plant and a drive-in theater northwest of town indicate mid-century modernization in this Highland and Ross County border region.
