1961 Map of Richmond Dale

About this map

The Scioto River valley defines this region of southern Ohio, where the confluence of Walnut Creek and Salt Creek created a vital corridor for early transportation. The village of Richmond Dale serves as a central hub, historically supported by the intersecting lines of the Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, and Norfolk and Western railroads. These rail networks reflect the industrial character of the mid-20th century, connecting small settlements like Rittenours and Vigo to larger markets.
