1961 Map of Logan

About this map

The Hocking River carves a deep valley through this corner of Hocking County, anchoring the commercial and industrial activity of Logan and its neighbors West Logan and South Logan. During the early 1960s, the landscape reflected a complex history of resource extraction and community growth, with several Oil Wells and a Strip Mine scattered among the hills. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor follows the river's path, serving local industry like the Kilns and Sewage Disposal facility. Away from the valley floor, the map documents a network of rural hubs such as Enterprise and family-centered landmarks like Antioch Cem and Marion Sch. Large recreational and social spaces including Camp Akita, Echo Hill Camp, and the County Fairground highlight the area's role as a regional gathering point.
