1961 Map of Greenville East

About this map

Greenville Creek meanders through the heart of Darke County, anchoring a landscape defined by its agricultural roots and early industrial sites in the early 1960s. The map illustrates the town of Greenville as it expands eastward, with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads carving paths through the countryside. Notable historic landmarks include Bears Mill along the creek and the Lansdowne Landing Strip, which speak to the area's transition from 19th-century milling to mid-century aviation.
