1961 Map of Jeffersonville

About this map

Jeffersonville sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Fayette County, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural townships. The 1961 data, updated with 1974 photo-revisions, reveals a transition in transportation as Interchange 69 emerges near the Detroit Toledo and Ironton railroad tracks. This junction of rail and modern interstate infrastructure highlights the shift from 19th-century transit to the automobile era. The map is particularly rich for genealogists, preserving the locations of numerous family-named burial grounds like the Hogue-Allen Cem and McKillip-Kirk Cem. Smaller settlements such as South Solon and Bookwalter, the latter featuring the Bookwalter Sch, are connected by a network of historic routes like Chillicothe Road and Federal Rd. Drainage is defined by the winding paths of Rattlesnake Creek, Sugar Creek, and Paint Creek, which carve through the territory within the Virginia Military District.
