About this map

Louisville and Robertsville anchor this Stark County landscape as it appeared in the early 1960s, a region defined by its industrial activity and agricultural roots. The southern half of the map reveals a heavy concentration of extraction sites, including numerous labels for Strip Mine, several Mines, and a Brickyard near the New York Chicago and St Louis rail line. This industrial presence contrasts with the rural character of the north, where small settlements like Maximo and Freeburg are connected by the Pennsylvania railroad.

Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including Beech Cem, Snyder Cem, and the Pleasant Grove Sch. The topography is dissected by multiple watercourses such as Sandy Creek, Nimisillen Creek, and Black Creek, while recreational spots like the Edgewater Golf Course and Hidden Valley Lake suggest the area's development beyond its mining and farming foundations.
