1961 Map of Kilbourne

About this map

Alum Creek carves a deep valley through the center of this landscape, its path eventually giving way to the expanding reservoir waters that define the southern reaches. The area is a mosaic of townships including Brown, Kingston, and Berlin, where agriculture and rural infrastructure are firmly established. The settlement at Kilbourne sits at a strategic crossing, supported by nearby sites like the Old Kilbourne Cem and Greenmound Cem. To the north and east, the land rises toward Leonardsburg and the small hamlet of Berkshire. Transportation is defined by the Conrail line running through the northwest and a network of named country routes such as Worthington Road. Local activity centers around landmarks like Bohannan Airport, Clark Lake, and the Grange Hall, illustrating the mid-century character of Delaware County's rural communities before major suburban expansion.
