1961 Map of Johnstown

About this map

The village of Johnstown serves as the focal point of this Licking County landscape, positioned at a historic crossroads where the New York Central railroad once cut through the agricultural heartland. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a rural society structured around small settlements like Concord and the dual-named Hartford Croton PO. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Raccoon Creek and the Licking River, with local life anchored by institutions such as the Fairgrounds and various country churches, including Harmony Ch and Concord Ch. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating family plots in Green Hill Cemetery, Lake Cem, and the uniquely named Twelve Corners Cem. The presence of a Country Club and Beaver Lake near the main village indicates the mid-century growth and recreational development typical of central Ohio during this era.
