1961 Map of Richmond Dale

About this map

Richmond Dale stands as a central hub at the confluence of several early Ohio transport routes, where the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad once converged. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Scioto River and the rugged topography of the Wayne National Forest, which covers a significant portion of the southern hills. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural countryside, marked by numerous family and community landmarks such as Little Mound Cem, Beals Cem, and the East Jackson Sch near the settlement of Hay.
