1961 Map of Greenville West

About this map

The Treaty of Greenville State Park and the historic seat of Greenville anchor this survey of western Darke County, where the landscape transitions from established town blocks to a dense network of family farms and rural cemeteries. The area's deep history is reflected in landmarks like the Fort Jefferson State Memorial, situated near the waters of Mud Creek. A distinct corridor of industry and recreation runs through the quadrangle, from the extensive Gravel Pits dotting the township lines to the complex water features of Wayne Lakes Park and the Fish Hatchery. Local transit and genealogy are well-preserved here, following the Penn Central rail line and numerous named country roads such as Hogpath Road and Weavers Station Road. Small rural clusters like Nashville, Palestine, and Baker are mapped alongside several historic burial grounds, including the Dininger Cem and Heller Cem.
