1960 Map of Malinta

About this map

The village of Malinta sits at the crossing of major rail lines in rural Henry County during the early 1960s, reflecting a landscape shaped by transportation and agriculture. The Detroit Toledo And Ironton and the Norfolk and Western railroads intersect here, providing the backbone for small outposts like Elery and Grelton. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and drainage features, including South Turkeyfoot Creek and the long, straight cut of Brinkman Ditch.
