1961 Map of Olive Green

About this map

Big Walnut Creek and its many tributaries, including Culver Creek and Perfect Creek, carve through this central Ohio agricultural landscape as it appeared in the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by the scattered hamlets of Pagetown, Fargo, and Olive Green, which serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. This era shows the transition of rural infrastructure, where local landmarks like a Covered Bridge on Big Walnut Creek coexist with industrial activity represented by an Oil Well near the Morrow and Delaware County line. The transport network is anchored by the Pennsylvania railroad line in the south, connecting Sunbury to the broader regional economy. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of rural congregations at Blue Ch and Mt Pleasant Ch, along with the Pagetown Cem, provide essential geographic markers for mid-century family research.
