About this map

Stanton serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, shown as a developed hub during the early 1960s. The community is characterized by its organized street grid, the Central High Sch, and the expansive Forest Hill Cemetery on its southern edge. This era reflects a landscape where extractive industries and nature conservation exist in close proximity, evidenced by the Stanton Oil Field situated just west of town and the large Stanton State Game Area to the southeast.

Transport and water define the surrounding townships of Douglass, Day, Sidney, and Evergreen. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad cuts diagonally through the region, connecting McBrides to the north with the southern lake district. This area is punctuated by numerous glacial water bodies, including Hemmingway Lake, Derby Lake, and Half Moon Lake, many of which show early signs of residential lakeside development. Numerous Gravel Pits are scattered throughout the quadrangle, highlighting the local importance of aggregate mining alongside established agriculture.
