About this map

The southern outskirts of Mansfield give way to the wooded ridges and agricultural valleys of Richland County during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the recently established Clear Fork Reservoir, which stands as a prominent topographical feature near the western edge. This period shows significant expansion in Lexington and the growth of residential developments like Hanley Village, illustrating the post-war suburbanization of the region as it pushed outward from the urban center.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is deeply integrated into the terrain, from the Baltimore and Ohio RR tracks following the natural contours of the Clear Fork Mohican River to the complex network of municipal services like the Mansfield Waterworks and various pumping stations. Small-scale landmarks, including Hilltop Ch and the rural Day Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogists tracing family histories in the townships of Springfield, Madison, and Troy.
