About this map

Greenfield serves as the industrial and social anchor of this 1960 landscape, where the Baltimore And Ohio and Detroit Toledo And Ironton railroads intersect near the town center. The civic heart of the community is clearly defined by landmarks like the McClain High Sch, City Hall, and the Athletic Field. To the south, the terrain descends toward the expanding waters of Paint Creek Lake, a significant geographical feature created by the impoundment of Paint Creek.

Beyond the primary settlement, the rural character of Fairfield and Madison townships is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Caldwell Cem and Crispin Cem. These small settlements, including New Petersburg and East Monroe, illustrate the historical development of Highland County before modern suburbanization. The map also captures the local recreation and entertainment of the era, noting a Drive-in Theater situated along the highway west of the city.
