About this map

The Sandusky River carves a winding path through the heart of this Seneca County landscape, defining the character of Pleasant and Clinton townships in the early 1960s. The northern reaches of Tiffin anchor the map, showing the city's infrastructure including the State Hospital, Tiffin Airfield, and the Radio Towers (WTTF). Industrial footprints are prominent near Maple Grove where several large Quarry sites sit adjacent to the Pennsylvania and New York Chicago and St Louis railroads.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks, from the Feaselburg Cem and Hopewell Ch in the southwest to the site of Fort Seneca along the river. The map also records mid-century cultural features like the Drive-in Theater near Abbotts Island and the Tiffin Camp. Transportation and history intersect at the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts diagonally through the townships of Hopewell and Pleasant, marking a significant historical line in the Ohio territory.
