1960 Map of Sycamore

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary bisects this portion of Wyandot County, marking a historical line of demarcation that shaped the land divisions visible in this 1960s landscape. The village of Sycamore serves as the primary hub, situated at the junction of the Akron Canton and Youngstown and Penn Central railroads. These rail lines cut across a terrain defined by the winding Sandusky River to the northwest and a network of agricultural drainage including Greasy Run and Sugar Run. Smaller settlements such as Belle Vernon, Mexico, and Deunquat dot the map, providing a glimpse into the rural community structure before modern consolidation. Local genealogy is well-represented through several burial grounds, including Quaker Hill Cem and Pleasant Ridge Cem, while the presence of Gravel Pits and camps like Camp Pittenger indicates the local industrial and recreational uses of the river valley.
