1960 Map of Miller City

About this map

The Blanchard River meanders across this rural Putnam County landscape, defining the agricultural character of the region as it was surveyed in 1960. Small rail-side and crossroads settlements such as Miller City, Kieferville, and Cuba anchor the township divisions, which include Monroe, Palmer, and Greensburg. The Norfolk and Western railway cuts a diagonal line through the northern half of the sheet, passing through Hector and Wisterman. This map is particularly detailed for genealogical research, identifying numerous family-associated cemeteries like Wing Cem, Varner Cem, and Myers Cem. Local community life is further evidenced by the presence of the Townhall and the County Sch near the river. The landscape shows a mix of wooded riverbanks and the strictly gridded farmland of the Congress Lands, with specific industrial activity noted at a Claypit in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
