About this map

New Vienna sits at the junction of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and several regional routes in this 1960 survey of the border between Clinton and Highland counties. The village serves as a hub for the surrounding agricultural townships of Green, Fairfield, and Penn, characterized by a dense network of family farmsteads and rural landmarks. Notable for local historians is the Gist Settlement located east of the village, representing a significant historical community in the region.

The southern portion of the map is defined by the Fallsville State Wildlife Area and the winding course of Clear Creek. Dozens of family-named cemeteries such as Swindler Farm Cem, Odd Fellows Cem, and Shockley-Ross Cem are scattered across the landscape, providing a detailed record of 19th and early 20th-century residency. Small ecclesiastical centers like Carthagenia Ch and Auburn Ch further anchor the rural communities of Careytown and Willettsville.
