1955 Map of Russellville
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Russellville serves as the primary hub in this mid-century portrait of northwestern Putnam County, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad cuts across a landscape defined by the winding course of Raccoon Creek. The survey captures several small crossroads communities including Fincastle, Parkersburg, and Morton, reflecting the rural settlement patterns of the 1950s. The topography transitions from level agricultural fields in the north to the dissected creek valleys of the Russell and Clinton townships. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Sutherlin Cem, La Follett Cem, and Pickle Cem, alongside local landmarks like Union Chapel and a Stone Quarry. An interesting marker of the era's social life is the Drive-in Theater located at the southern edge of the quadrangle in Monroe township.
