About this map

Agricultural lands and rural townships define this Wood County landscape as it appeared in the early 1960s. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad serves as the primary industrial corridor, cutting diagonally through the map and anchoring the small communities of Milton Center and Custar. These settlements, along with the larger town of Weston, are connected by a rigid grid of namesake roads such as Mermill Road and Sand Ridge Road, reflecting the organized land division of the Ohio Plain.

Water management is central to the local geography, evidenced by the extensive network of ditches and the winding course of Beaver Creek in the northwest. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, including St Louis Cem and Pottertown Cem, which provide specific touchpoints for family history research. The presence of the Antioch Ch and various township boundaries like Milton and Jackson further illustrate the civic and spiritual heart of this farming region.
