1960 Map of Oceola

About this map

Broken Sword Creek meanders through the heart of this North Central Ohio landscape, where the rural character of the 1960s is preserved in a network of section roads and small communities. The settlement of Oceola sits near Quarry Lake, while the Penn Central rail line cuts diagonally across the northern and central reaches of the map, serving the small community of Spore. This period of the mid-20th century shows the persistence of local institutions, with American Ch, Bethel Cem, and the Mt Zion Sch anchoring the surrounding farmland. The Sandusky River flows through the southern portion of the sheet, where Camp Michael and a Townhall reflect the area's social and civic geography. The presence of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary Road provides a clear historical link to the region's early 19th-century surveying and land partitioning.
