1960 Map of Ripley

About this map

Ripley serves as the central hub of this Jackson County landscape, situated at the confluence of Mill Creek and Sycamore Creek. The 1960s environment is defined by its ridge-and-valley settlement patterns, where numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions line the winding hollows. To the south, the Cedar Lakes State Recreation Center anchors the terrain near Shatto, while the Baltimore and Ohio rail line cuts through the western hills near Sidneyville.
