1961 Map of New Bedford

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

New Bedford sits at the intersection of Crawford and Mill Creek townships, anchor to a rural landscape during the early 1960s where agriculture and energy extraction coexist. This survey, grounded in 1961 field checks, documents a network of ridge-top schools including Flat Ridge Sch and Oak Ridge Sch that once served the scattered farmsteads of Mechanic and Clark townships. The map records a significant number of Gas Wells and Oil Wells peppered throughout the drainages of Doughty Creek and Mullet Run, signaling the active development of local mineral resources.
