1960 Map of Leesburg

About this map

Leesburg serves as a central hub for this Highland County landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad cuts a diagonal line through the townships of Fairfield and Paint. The map captures a quintessential mid-century Ohio agricultural pattern, defined by numerous family and community cemeteries like Antioch Cem and Hapsbrough Cem that dot the high ground between creek drainages. To the south, the village of Samantha sits near the Township Sch and Township Cem, illustrating the localized nature of rural education and civil service before further consolidation.
