1960 Map of Malvern

About this map

Sandy Creek and its various tributaries, including Middle Run and Little Sandy Creek, define the landscape of this region on the border of Stark and Carroll Counties. The extensive Lake Mohawk dominates the southern portion of the sheet, surrounded by local landmarks like Geographers Line. The area is a mixture of small settlements and rural infrastructure, from the village of Malvern to the rail-connected Minerva Junction. Several local congregations and burying grounds, such as Salem Ch, Christ Ch, and Bethlehem Cem, are documented alongside active industrial sites noted as Strip Mine. The presence of several abandoned rail lines near Oneida reflects the shifting transportation patterns of the mid-20th century as the local economy transitioned away from older transit corridors.
