1961 Map of Prospect

About this map

The Scioto River defines the central axis of this Central Ohio landscape, where the village of Prospect sits at the crossing of major regional routes. The map records a complex historical boundary system, noting where the area west of the river lies within the Virginia Military District and the land to the east belongs to the United States Military District, separated by the Boundary Line known as the Greenville Treaty Line. This division influenced early land ownership and road patterns still visible in the 1960s.
