1981 Map of Lakewood

About this map

Williamsburg Hill rises above the rural landscape of Shelby County, anchoring a terrain defined by the winding paths of Becks Creek and Mitchell Creek. This early 1980s record captures the region’s agricultural and industrial character, where extractive sites like Gravel Pits and numerous Sandpits dot the countryside. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor serves as a primary transit artery, passing through the village of Lakewood and an adjacent Oil Field. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally dense with family-named landmarks and burial sites, including McCoy Cem, Corley Cem, and Horsman Cem. The distribution of these cemeteries, alongside structures like the Townhall and West New Hope Ch, reflects the enduring settlement patterns of townships such as Cold Spring and Tower Hill.
