About this map

Stoutsville and the surrounding farmland of Pickaway and Clear Creek townships occupy this landscape during the early 1960s. The Pennsylvania Railroad cuts across the northern terrain, serving small communities like Oakland and Stoutsville. The area is notably dense with genealogy markers, featuring numerous family and community burial grounds such as Maple Hill Cem, Wolf Cem, and the Infirmary Cem located near the County Infirmary.

Natural and ancient landmarks shape the southern half of the map, where Salt Creek meanders toward Tarlton State Park. An Indian Mound is documented near Tarlton, while the rising elevation of Chestnut Ridge defines the eastern border. Local infrastructure is well-defined, from the Logan Elm High Sch to the scattered country churches like Dresbach Ch and St Johns Ch, reflecting a well-established rural social fabric.
