1960 Map of Ripley

About this map

Ripley serves as the central hub of this 1960 survey, situated where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor meets the winding path of Mill Creek. The landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and narrow valleys, such as Stone Ridge and Angel Ridge, which dictated the early settlement patterns of Jackson County. To the southeast, the Cedar Lakes State Recreation Center occupies a large bend in the creek, featuring several landmarks including a Water Tank and Mt Calvary Cem.
