1960 Map of Leesburg

About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor anchors the northern half of this landscape, connecting the settlements of Highland, Leesburg, and East Monroe. This agricultural region in Highland Co is defined by a dense network of country burial grounds and small community hubs, with the crossroads of Samantha and the hamlet of Bridges serving the southern townships. The terrain transitions from the level rail-side plains to more dissected valley land near Lees Creek and Hardin Creek, where landmarks like High Top rise above the drainage basins of Fall Creek and Bull Creek.
