About this map

Plain City serves as the focal point of this 1961 survey, situated at the junction of the Union and Madison county lines. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Darby Creek and its tributaries, including Sweeney Run and Sugar Run. The presence of the Pennsylvania RR and the Fairgrounds in the northeast corner highlights the town's role as a regional hub for transit and local commerce during the early 1960s.

Rural life is meticulously documented through family and community landmarks such as Sharon Ch and Jonathan Alder High Sch. The map preserves the locations of numerous burial grounds like Big Darby Cem and Township Cem, providing essential data for genealogical research. The layout of rural roads, including the Lafayette Plain City Road and Price Hilliards Road, illustrates the persistent grid of the Virginia Military District that shaped central Ohio's settlement patterns.
