About this map

Milford Center serves as the focal point of this 1961 Union County survey, situated at the confluence of the Pennsylvania railroad and the winding Big Darby Creek. The landscape reflects a mix of mid-century civic infrastructure and agrarian roots, featuring the State Reformatory for Women and a Drive-in Theater just outside Marysville. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the townships, including Oakdale Cemetery, Buck Run Cem, and the Robinson Cem.

Transportation patterns of the early 1960s are clearly visible, from the tracks of the New York Central to the preservation of rural landmarks like the Covered Bridge over Big Darby Run. Smaller settlements such as Allen Center and Bridgeport anchor the surrounding agricultural tracts, while local education is represented by the Township Sch. Recreational spaces of the era, such as the Boy Scout Camp and the Marysville Country Club Golf Course, appear alongside industrial features like the Storage Bins at Milford Center.
