1960 Map of Homeworth

About this map

Homeworth serves as a central hub in this depiction of the rural borderlands between Stark and Columbiana counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Sandy Creek and the Middle Branch Sandy Creek, which once powered the early development of these farming communities. The presence of the Fairmount Childrens Home in the northwest corner, along with the Fairmount Mem Park (Cem), highlights the region's institutional history. Transport and industry are evident through the Penn Central rail lines connecting the hamlets of Moultrie and Bayard. While agriculture predominates, the appearance of a Strip Mine and scattered oil wells near Chambersburg suggests the area's transition toward resource extraction. Local social geography is anchored by rural landmarks such as Moultrie Chapel, Knox Sch, and the Mt Calvary Ch, reflecting a settled landscape of small-town and township life.
