About this map

The Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads converge at the town of Sabina, anchoring a landscape defined by 1960s Midwestern agriculture and small-town infrastructure. This survey captures the transition of the region's transport network, from the rail crossings at Melvin to the emerging highway system. Local life is documented through scattered rural landmarks such as the Simon Kenton Sch and the community surrounding Lees Creek.

Smaller settlements like Reesville and New Antioch are clearly detailed, along with several family and local burial grounds including Spurgeon Cem, Texas Cem, and Guthrie Cem. The drainage patterns of Anderson Fork and Cowan Creek dictate the placement of farms and roads, while industrial activity is noted at the Quarry near the Richland Ch. These details provide a clear view of Clinton County's social and economic geography before later 20th-century developments altered the rural character.
