About this map

Hilliard serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s landscape, where the County Fairground and Hilliard Sch mark the town's growth as a suburban hub. The surrounding townships of Jerome, Washington, and Norwich reveal a transition from traditional agricultural patterns to early residential expansion. The Pennsylvania Railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, historically linking smaller settlements like Amlin and Hayden to larger markets.

Along the western edge, the meanders of Big Darby Creek provide a natural boundary, with smaller waterways like Sugar Run and Hayden Run draining the flatlands. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several community cornerstones, including St Johns Ch and the rural Mudsock area, alongside numerous family-named roads like Houchard Road and Elliott Road that reflect the region's landownership history.
