1961 Map of Jamestown

About this map

Jamestown serves as the hub of this rural landscape in Greene County, where agricultural patterns are shaped by the winding course of Caesar Creek and the South Branch Caesar Creek. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a high density of early burial grounds, including the Old Silver Creek Cem and the Quaker Cem, indicating a long-established community with deep ancestral roots. The village infrastructure includes the Township High Sch and a municipal Sewage Disposal plant, while the surrounding townships of Ross and Silver Creek are dotted with small crossroads settlements like Gladstone, Grape Grove, and Bell Center. The local economy of the mid-20th century is mapped through an extensive grid of named thoroughfares such as Rogers Road and the Baltimore and Ohio Road, which connect isolated farmsteads and rural schools like the Township Sch to the larger market centers.
