1960 Map of St. Marys

About this map

Grand Lake and the St Marys River define the landscape of this 1960 survey, illustrating a region shaped by both recreational development and 19th-century infrastructure. The city of St Marys serves as the focal point, where the Miami and Erie Canal (Abandoned) still marks its historic route through the town center, crossing over an Aqueduct and passing by Forty Acre Pond. The era's local culture is visible in features like the New York Drive-in Theater and Armstrong Park, while the rural surroundings of Center Noble and Jefferson townships are dotted with oil and gas wells, signifying the persistent extraction economy of western Ohio.
