1960 Map of Leesburg

About this map

Leesburg and the surrounding townships of Fairfield, Penn, and Paint appear here in a transition period, documented originally in 1960 and updated with 1974 revisions. The landscape is defined by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor, which links the settlements of Highland, Leesburg, and East Monroe across the northern reaches of the map. This area is particularly rich in family and community history, evidenced by a high density of small rural burial grounds like Antioch Cem and Swadley Cem.
