1960 Map of Hagerstown

About this map

Hagerstown anchors this agricultural landscape along the border of Henry and Wayne counties as it appeared in the early 1960s. The town's grid is bisected by the Norfolk and Western Pipeline and buffered by West Lawn Cem. To the north, the small settlement of Dalton serves as a rural hub, home to the Dalton Township Sch and the West River Ch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways including Nettle Creek, Symonds Creek, and the Whitewater River, which carve through the farmland. Local history is preserved in sites like the Wilbur Wright Memorial and numerous country parishes such as Brick Church and Chicago Corner Ch. This survey illustrates a period of established mid-century rural life before significant modern consolidation, documenting family-named landmarks like Nobblett Hill and several small, isolated cemeteries that mark the area's early genealogy.
