1961 Map of Ohio

About this map

Strip mines scar the landscape of northern St. Clair County in the early 1960s, reflecting a transition in land use across the Fairview and Chalk Level regions. The map centers on the small settlement of Ohio, positioned near the confluence of local drainages and just south of the Henry County and St. Clair County line. This survey captures a rural environment where agriculture and extractive industry coexist, documented through a dense network of family and community landmarks.
