1960 Map of Van Wert

Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into the agricultural townships of Pleasant, Ridge, and York. Here, the map reveals the layout of rural life through small settlements like Ohio City and Jonestown, as well as numerous country landmarks such as Kingsley Ch and Wallick Cem. The map's detail preserves the path of three major railroads—the Penn Central, Norfolk and Western, and Erie-Lackawanna—reflecting the region's importance as a transportation corridor during this era.
