1960 Map of Langford

About this map

St Martins Ch and the Dittman Cem serve as landmarks in this agricultural landscape of southern Erie County during the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of the South Branch Eighteenmile Creek and the North Branch Clear Creek, which carve through the plateau between Brown Hill and Rocky Mountain. Small crossroads communities like Langford, Morton Corners, and New Oregon anchor the rural road network, while the western portion of the map reveals a concentrated cluster of Gas Wells near Marshfield. This pattern of land use reflects a mix of traditional dairy farming and mid-century energy extraction. Other notable features include Camp Hemlock Ridge near Clear Lake and several regional pipelines that traverse the hills, illustrating the utility infrastructure of the period.
