1961 Map of Vienna

About this map

Vienna (South Vienna PO) serves as a primary hub for this central Ohio landscape, situated along the storied National Road. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural patterns to early modern infrastructure, with the Penn Central rail line cutting across the southern portion through Plattsburg. To the east, the extensive grounds of the London Correctional Institution and the State Fish Hatchery mark significant state land use near Oak Run. Local heritage is well-preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, including McConkey Cem, Bodkin Cem, and the historic Pleasant Chapel. The terrain is defined by its many waterways, such as the headwaters of the Little Miami River and the meandering Beaver Creek, reflecting a well-watered region where small settlements like Brighton and Summerford once relied heavily on these drainage basins and early turnpikes like Old Columbus Road.
