About this map

The village of Martinsville serves as the central hub for this 1960 survey of southern Clinton County and northern Highland County. Situated along the Baltimore and Ohio RR, the town and its surrounding farmstead landscape are characterized by a dense network of locally named roads, such as Hilderbrant Road and Mud Switch Road. The map documents numerous smaller rural settlements, including Farmers, Jonesboro, and the rail crossing at Klocks Crossing, which highlight the area's agricultural and transportation-focused development.

Waterways like Todd Fork and the Little Miami River dictate the topography of the Virginia Military District. Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks, from the IOOF Cem and Lieurance Cem to country congregations at Glady Ch and West Chapel. Near the southern border, the town of Lynchburg marks the boundary between counties, while a Quarry near the eastern edge indicates local industry in this fertile Ohio valley.
