1961 Map of Waldo

About this map

The Olentangy River serves as the central geographic axis of this Marion County and Delaware County region during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the Delaware Reservoir and its surrounding Wildlife Area, a significant water body created to manage the local river system. The village of Waldo is the primary population center, situated near the intersection of various rural roads like Western Road and the Pennsylvania rail line. This survey captures a moment when smaller, crossroads-style settlements like Smith Corners, Mayfield Corners, and Inskeep Corners remained distinct reference points on the map.
