1961 Map of Sullivan

About this map

Sullivan and Homerville center this early 1960s landscape, where the agricultural traditions of Ashland and Medina counties meet the developing infrastructure of the mid-century. The terrain is defined by the West Fork Black River and Wellington Creek, with several small rural cemeteries like Gould Cem and Southview Cem marking the generational ties of local farming families. The era's industrial footprint is visible in the scattered Oil Wells and the crossing of major rail lines, including the Baltimore And Ohio Railroad and the New York Central And ST Louis Railroad. Educational consolidation is evident at the Black River High Sch, while the northern edge of the map features the recreational grounds of Findley State Park, providing a contrast to the dense network of county roads like Bursley Road and New London Eastern Road.
