1961 Map of Norwich

About this map

Chandlersville serves as a focal point in the southern portion of this Muskingum County landscape, where the local community is anchored by the Chandlersville Cem and nearby Salt Creek Ch. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage of Salt Creek and its many tributaries, including White Eyes Creek and Buffalo Fork. In the northern section, the village of Norwich and the hamlet of Sundale sit along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor, which parallels an early proposed highway route. This 1961 survey captures the area just before significant modernization of the regional road network, preserving the location of family-named landmarks like Smith Mill and the Perry Sch. The southern reaches are dominated by the wooded expanse of the Blue Rock State Forest, illustrating the transition from agricultural valley floors to upland timber conservation.
