1960 Map of Pavonia

About this map

Mansfield expands eastward toward the Muskingum Conservancy District in this early 1960s study of the Richland and Ashland county line. The landscape is defined by the substantial Charles Mill Reservoir, which dominates the eastern half of the map, and the winding course of the Mohican River. While the urban reach of East Mansfield and Wooster Heights is evident in the south, the northern sections remain largely rural, dotted with family-named burial grounds like Smeltzer Cem and Pittenger Cem. Local institutions such as Franklin Ch and Chestnut Grove Ch anchor the surrounding townships of Weller and Mifflin. The infrastructure of the era is clearly marked, featuring the Erie Railroad cutting across the terrain, several gravel pits, and the distinctive recreation area at Fleming Falls.
