1960 Map of Robertsville

About this map

Louisville and Robertsville anchor this Stark County landscape during a period of transition between traditional farming and industrial extraction. The topography is deeply marked by the extractive economy of the era, visible in the numerous Strip Mine operations and industrial Brickkilns found near the Norfolk and Western railway lines. Local genealogy is well-represented through scattered family-named sites such as Beech Cem, Motts Cem, and the Zwick Cem, alongside small rural institutions like Salem Ch and Township Sch. Waterways including Nimishillen Creek and Sandy Creek cut through the townships of Washington and Osnaburg, while newer leisure developments like Copes Lake and the Edgewater Golf Course suggest the post-war shift toward suburban recreation alongside the established rail-side hubs of Paris and Freeburg Station.
