1960 Map of Mount Pleasant

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Delaware Co and Henry Co is defined by its transition toward water management and infrastructure by the mid-20th century. The presence of the large Prairie Creek Reservoir and the Summit Lake Reservoir indicates significant shifts in the regional watershed, impacting the areas surrounding Stoney Creek and the Blue River. The map documents a scattered network of small communities such as Luray, Rogersville, and Mooreland, connected by a grid of county roads and the Chesapeake and Ohio RR.
