1961 Map of Milledgeville

About this map

Milledgeville and the surrounding farmland of Jasper and Jefferson townships are defined by a meticulous grid of rural roads and the winding course of Rattlesnake Creek. This 1961 survey captures a landscape steeped in family-named landmarks and local history, where small crossroad settlements like Octa and West Lancaster are connected by the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial sites such as the Jefferson-Jasper Township Cemetery and the Old Creamer Cem.
