1961 Map of Magnetic Springs

About this map

Magnetic Springs serves as the focal point of this Union County landscape, situated along the winding course of Bokes Creek. The map documents a predominantly agricultural region at the start of the 1960s, punctuated by small crossroads settlements and various institutional landmarks. Near the southwestern corner, the County Home and Woodview Park lie adjacent to the village, while the Blues Creek Ch and several small family burial grounds like Maskill Cem and Scott Cem are scattered across the townships of Leesburg and Paris. Transport patterns reflect a period of transition, featuring the Erie Lackawanna line in the north and an Old Railroad Grade further south, illustrating the changing infrastructure of central Ohio. The detailed inclusion of field lines and property boundaries provides a clear look at the rural land division of the era.
