1961 Map of New Moorefield

About this map

New Moorefield and Harmony anchor this central Ohio landscape, reflecting a post-war era of infrastructure expansion and agricultural continuity. The map shows the transition of traditional farm-to-market routes into a more modern transportation network, with the massive interchange of the National Road and the developing interstate system cutting across the rural township lines. Along the southern edge, the Detroit Toledo and Ironton and Penn Central railroads maintain their historical presence, serving the small community of Thorps and the industrial edges of the county seat.
