1964 Map of Harris

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks bisect the landscape between Newtown and Harris, serving as the primary corridor through this section of Sullivan County. This mid-century survey captures a rural landscape where small settlements are anchored by local spiritual and community centers, such as Center Grove Ch in the northeast and Asbury Ch to the south. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Medicine Creek and West Locust Creek, which dictate the placement of farms and small burial grounds. Genealogists will find several notable family and community landmarks, including Busby Cem, Brackett Cem, and the Wintersville Cem near the southern settlement of Wintersville. The map clearly delineates the convergence of several townships, including Clay, Medicine, and Liberty, providing a clear view of local jurisdictional boundaries during the early 1960s.
