1962 Map of Princeton

About this map

Princeton serves as the focal point of this early 1960s survey, showing the town's footprint as it expanded along the Norfolk and Western railway lines. The map captures a moment when local infrastructure was adapting to mid-century needs, evidenced by the Princeton Airport and the development around Douglas Lake. Beyond the city limits, the terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges including Stony Ridge and Beaver Pond Ridge, where numerous family cemeteries like Harvey Cem and Shumate Cem dot the landscape.
