About this map

The town of Lynnville sits at the center of this 1960 survey, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural townships of Barton, Monroe, and Hart. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of the regional extraction industry, with massive Strip Mines and the specific Lynnville Mine altering the terrain south and east of the town center. The New York Central railroad cuts a diagonal path through the area, facilitating the movement of coal and agricultural goods from the nearby Quarry and Grain Storage Bins.

Away from the industrial sites, the map records a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions essential for genealogists. Numerous country churches and burial grounds, such as St Matthews Ch, Eden Cem, and Barnetts Chapel, are located along the section-line roads. Small communities like Stanley, Eby, and Graham Valley appear as they were before later twentieth-century developments, while prominent heights like Ringham Hill and Dyson Knob overlook the winding courses of Smith Fork and Little Creek.
