1961 Map of West Mansfield

About this map

West Mansfield serves as the primary hub of this 1961 survey, situated at the junction of the New York Central railroad and a network of rural roads. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Rush Creek, Bokes Creek, and Mill Creek, which wind through a mosaic of agricultural fields and small woodlots. One of the most distinctive historical artifacts shown is the Treaty Line, a significant surveying boundary that cuts diagonally across the township lines of Bokes Creek and York. Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Hathaway Cem, Early Cem, and Southard Cem. Small rural clusters like Walnut Grove and North Greenfield anchor the surrounding townships of Jefferson and Perry, reflecting the dispersed settlement patterns of Logan and Union Counties during this era.
