About this map

The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District defines the eastern landscape of this quadrangle, where the Mohican River feeds into the sprawling Charles Mill Lake. This mid-century view captures the transition from the agricultural lands of Franklin and Weller townships into the expanding residential and industrial fringes of east Mansfield. Settlement patterns are visible in communities like Pavonia and Windsor, while the presence of the Conrail railroad line cutting diagonally across the map underscores the region's historical reliance on rail infrastructure for both freight and passenger transit.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant details in the numerous family and community landmarks, including Pittenger Cem, Windsor Park Cem, and Paradise Hill. Educational and recreational hubs like Mifflin Sch and Camp Mowana provide a clear picture of mid-century civic life. The western edge shows the post-war growth of Lincoln Heights and Wooster Heights, providing a valuable record of suburban development near the Madison township line.
