1961 Map of Lancaster

About this map

Lancaster serves as the focal point of this Fairfield County landscape, where the Hocking River valley dictates the orientation of both infrastructure and industry. The city's mid-century footprint is marked by a dense concentration of civic and educational institutions, including the Ohio University (Lancaster Br) and numerous neighborhood schools like Medill Sch and Tallmadge Sch. Outside the urban center, the topography transitions into the wooded hills of Hocking and Berne parks, where the landscape is dotted with family cemeteries and small rural landmarks such as St Pauls Ch.
