1961 Map of Waverly North

About this map

Scioto Trail State Forest dominates the high ground of northern Pike and southern Ross Counties in the early 1960s, a landscape defined by deep ridges and hollows like Cox Hollow and Long Branch Hollow. The Scioto River carves a broad valley to the east, flanked by the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. This era shows the expansion of Bristol Village and the industrial presence of several gravel pits near Waverly. The rural character of the region is preserved in numerous family and community landmarks, such as Hatfield Cem, Corwine Cem, and Sandy Chapel. Transportation patterns are anchored by the Blaine Highway and local routes like Clines Chapel Road, providing access to smaller settlements such as Alma, Antonis, and the riverside community of Omega.
