1960 Map of Scott

About this map

Van Wert anchors the southern portion of this landscape, showing a period of 1970s revision that highlights urban expansion and modern infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal plant. The map traces the transition from the city’s grid, including Bonnewitz Ave, into the surrounding agricultural townships of Hoaglin, Pleasant, and Ridge. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Feasby Road and Sugar Grove Road. These routes connect small rural centers like Scott and Cavett, which were historically vital nodes along the Penn Central rail line. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated in the numerous small burial grounds and rural parishes, including Oakland Cem, Taylor Cem, and the Grand Victory Ch, which dot the terrain between slow-moving waterways like Hoaglin Creek and Maddox Creek.
