1909 Map of Lancaster

About this map

The city of Lancaster serves as the focal point of this early twentieth-century survey, situated at the junction of the Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley RR and the Columbus Hocking Valley and Toledo RR. The landscape south of the city is marked by the Abandoned Hocking Canal, which traces the Hocking River valley through Sugargrove toward Rockbridge. This era represents a significant transition in transport as the old canal system gave way to heavy rail dominance, including the Pennsylvania System.
