About this map

The industrial and residential growth of Huntington dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Norfolk and Western and Erie Lackawanna railroads converge. This transit hub supports local education and recreation, seen in the proximity of Crestview Jr High Sch, Horace Mann Sch, and Riverside Park. Beyond the city, the landscape transitions into a network of small agricultural settlements and rural landmarks like Roanoke, Mardenis, and Bowerstown.

Tracing the northern portion of the map reveals the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts diagonally through the townships of Clear Creek and Jackson. This historical survey line persists alongside mid-century developments like the Drive-in Theater near Clair Lake and the Sewage Disposal Pond near Mahon. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous rural houses of worship and burial grounds, including Pleasant Chapel, Union Ch, and Feighner Cem.
