1960 Map of St. Clairsville

About this map

The Belmont County seat of St Clairsville serves as the focal point of this Eastern Ohio landscape, where the historic National Road and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad intersect. The map documents a community deeply rooted in regional service and industry, evidenced by the clustered institutions west of the city, including the County Sanatorium, County Home, and the County Experimental Farm. Mine dumps and various pits scattered throughout the Richland and Smith townships reveal the area's coal-mining heritage, while smaller settlements like Bannock, Warnock, and Glencoe punctuate the valleys of McMahon Creek and its tributaries. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller burial sites such as the Infirmary Cem and Friends Cem, along with landmarks like the Wesley Chapel and the Alderman Airport.
