1970 Map of Lewisville

About this map

Lewisville and Straughn sit along the historic National Road in this 1970 survey, which captures the rural landscape of eastern Henry County before modern development. The region is defined by its agricultural grid and the influence of two major rail lines, the Penn Central and the Norfolk and Western, which served the small elevator towns of the era. A network of country churches, including Ebenezer Ch, Salem Ch, and Hopewell Ch, provides crucial landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of Dudley and Franklin townships.
