1956 Map of Ohio

About this map

Ohio sits at the heart of this mid-century rural landscape, a settlement defined by its water crossings and small-scale community landmarks. The winding paths of Cowhouse Creek and Mustang Creek dictate the layout of the local transport network, evidenced by specialized transit points such as Parsley Ford Crossing, Ballard Crossing, and Slab Crossing. A sense of local transition is visible through the infrastructure, notably the Old Railroad Grade and several institutions marked as out of use, including St Pauls Sch (Abnd) and Liberty Sch (Abnd). Religious life remains central to the map's geography at Live Oak Ch and St Pauls Ch. Scattered Caliche Pits suggest the area's geological utility, while the boundary between Hamilton and Coryell counties bisects the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
