About this map

Vestaburg stands as the primary settlement in this mid-1960s landscape, positioned along the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor. The area is characterized by a high concentration of small kettle lakes and wetlands, including Rock Lake, Bass Lake, and Marl Lake, which shape the local geography and transportation routes. To the north, the Edmore State Game Area preserves a significant portion of the natural terrain, while the Pine River and its various branches, such as North Branch Pine River, drain the agricultural plains.

Institutional footprints are notably visible near the southern lakes, where the Cedar Lake Academy and Cedar Lake Sch serve the community. The map also documents the region's extractive economy, with numerous Gravel Pits and scattered Oil Wells peppered across the townships. Family-named roads like Bollinger Road and Vickeryville Road provide a granular look at the rural grid and property boundaries during this era.
