1961 Map of Prospect

About this map

The Scioto River anchors this landscape, dividing the agricultural plains of Marion and Delaware Counties as it flows past the village of Prospect. This early 1960s survey captures a rural Ohio community defined by its water crossings and small crossroads settlements, including Radnor, Centerville, and Newmans. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, from the tracks of the Erie Railroad and Chesapeake and Ohio to the various Gravel Pits that supported local road building.
