1961 Map of Sardinia

About this map

The Norfolk and Western railway corridor and the southern drainage of White Oak Creek define the landscape of this 1961 survey of southern Ohio. Centered on the village of Sardinia, the map illustrates a rural society organized around small crossroads and family cemeteries. At the southeastern edge, Mowrystown sits near the Old R R Grade, indicating a shift in local transportation infrastructure. Numerous small burial grounds, including Bells Run Cem, Bratton Cem, and McNeely Cem, are scattered across the townships, providing a clear geographic record for genealogical research in both Brown and Highland counties. The terrain is marked by a network of drainage runs such as Ruble Run and Bells Run, which feed into the primary creek system that supported the area's agricultural development.
