About this map

Pataskala and Pickerington anchor this late-1950s landscape, illustrating a period of mid-century growth along the rural-suburban fringe of central Ohio. The map captures a complex network of transportation and infrastructure, including the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads running through the northern sector, while the New York Central crosses the southwest. A significant corridor of the National Road bisects the area, passing through Wagram and Etna.

Local social and religious centers are well-represented, from the Watkins Memorial High School to country churches such as Trinity Ch and New Zion Ch. Waterways like Sycamore Creek and the South Fork Licking River define the local drainage, while the presence of the Spring Lakes Fishing Club and scattered cemeteries like Union Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking mid-century community life across Licking and Fairfield counties.
