1966 Map of Hilliard

About this map

Hilliard serves as the primary hub of this central Ohio landscape, positioned where the industrial influence of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads intersects with a largely agricultural interior. Small hamlets and named crossroads such as Kileville, Hayden, Lamb Corners, and the curiously named Mudsock dot the region, marking the early nodes of settlement before modern expansion. This map provides a detailed view of the rural-to-suburban transition during the mid-1960s, showing the early layout of the County Fairground and Hamilton Park alongside established community pillars like the Marblestone Ch and Avery Sch. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Darby Creek and its tributaries, which established the natural boundaries for the surrounding townships of Jerome, Washington, and Canaan. Local genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous family-named roads and burial sites, including the St Johns Ch Cem.
