1960 Map of Langford

About this map

Langford serves as a central hub for this rural portion of Erie County, situated at the intersection of Langford Road and Jennings Road. The landscape is characterized by a significant concentration of Gas Wells and Gas Well sites, particularly around the central and southern sections, indicating the region's active energy extraction during the early 1960s. Local history is anchored by St Martin Ch and the nearby Dittman Cem, while the winding course of Eighteenmile Creek and its tributaries, the North Branch and South Branch, carve through the terrain near Clarksburg and New Oregon. To the west, the recreational and geographical focal point of Clear Lake stands out near Marshfield, where Camp Hemlock Ridge occupies the wooded slopes above the water. Small crossroads communities like Whites Corners, Morton Corners, and Wyandale define the historical settlement pattern of the surrounding townships.
