1961 Map of Kingston

About this map

Kingston serves as a central hub on this 1961 landscape, where the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads converge amid the fertile grounds of Ross and Pickaway counties. The area's spiritual and educational history is well-documented through a network of rural landmarks, including Crouse Chapel, Bethel Chapel, and Centralia School. To the west, the Scioto River carves a path through the Union district, bordering the archaeological significance of the Mound City Group National Monument. High points like Sugarloaf and Bald Hill rise above the drainage of Kinnikinnick Creek, illustrating the varied topography that defined local land use and settlement patterns before the expansion of modern highways. This survey also records numerous family and community burial sites, such as Mt Pleasant Cemetery and Miller Cemetery, offering essential points of reference for genealogical research.
