About this map

The city of Highland serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, revealing the urban layout during a period of steady growth. The dense grid of the city is anchored by essential institutions like the High Sch and St Paul Sch, while Lindenthal Park provides a significant green space for the community. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into agricultural plots and natural drainages such as Silver Creek and Buckeye Branch.

Evidence of rural life and early industry is scattered across the township lines, including the settlement of St Morgan and several local landmarks like Sugar Creek Ch and the Kietmann Cem. The presence of numerous Oil Well symbols in the western portion of the map points to the region's diverse economic interests beyond farming. Transport is dominated by the prominent Pennsylvania railroad line and a network of roads that connect these small-town communities across the county boundaries.
