1949 Map of Odessa North

About this map

Little Sni-A-Bar Creek and its many tributaries, including Owl Creek and the East Fork Sni-A-Bar Creek, wind through this rural landscape of Lafayette County. The map reveals a dense network of country schools that served the dispersed farming community during the mid-20th century, such as Flournoy Sch, Hughes Sch, and the uniquely named Cabbage Neck Sch. The southern edge of the survey captures the northern outskirts of Odessa, where the Odessa Cem and the waters of Lake Venita are located near the corridor of the Ohio And Mobile railroad line.
