1961 Map of Greenville East

About this map

Greenville Creek carves a path through the heart of Darke County, anchoring a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and rich agricultural townships. The town of Greenville serves as the regional hub, flanked by the Treaty City Airport and the historical Bears Mill downstream. This 1960s-era topographic view reveals a dense network of country roads like Hogpath Road and Folkerth Road, connecting farming communities such as Abbottsville, Jaysville, and the small cluster at Steel Point. The industrial and transport bones of the county are evident in the intersecting tracks of the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including St Marys Cem, County Home Cem, and the Arcanum-Greenlawn Cem, alongside numerous rural churches like East Zion Ch.
