1961 Map of Hunt

About this map

Kenyon College dominates the northeastern landscape of this quadrangle, perched above the Kokosing River in the village of Gambier. The 1961 data, updated with 1974 photo-revisions, reveals a transitional era for central Ohio transportation and education. To the west, the edge of Mt Vernon features mid-century infrastructure like a Drive-in Theater and the Wynkoop Airport, while the rural townships of Clinton, Pleasant, and Morgan remain primarily agricultural. The presence of the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads underscores the historical importance of rail corridors in connecting these small settlements.
