1967 Map of Lawton

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Wyalusing Creek carves a central path through this landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for several small rural settlements during the late 1960s. The village of Lawton sits at a critical junction of creek branches and roads, while Rushville and Rush mark the western and central reaches of the valley. This 1967 survey (updated in 1978) highlights a deeply rooted agricultural and local community structure, evident in the high density of family and institutional burial grounds like Steadwell Cem, Devine Ridge Cem, and the County Home Cem near the County Home. Numerous quarries and gravel pits scattered across the hillsides of Middletown and Rush townships point to the local extraction industries that shaped the economy alongside the creek-bottom farms. Higher elevations like Devine Ridge and Fowler Hill overlook a network of smaller tributaries, including Gaylord Creek and Deuel Creek, which feed into the primary drainage system.
