1967 Map of Pittsville

About this map

The Yellow River flows through the heart of Wood County, anchoring a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and the specialized agriculture of the mid-1960s. This survey records a transition from the agricultural hub of Pittsville to the vast water management systems of the Cranmoor region, where numerous Cranberry Bogs and specialized water bodies like Lake Dexter dominate the terrain. The southern portion of the sheet is largely dedicated to the State Wildlife Demonstration Area, featuring a complex network of managed flowages including North Gallagher, Quail Point, and Bullgrass Flowage.
