1961 Map of Zanesville East

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Muskingum River dominates the western edge of this 1961 survey, carving a path through the rolling Muskingum County landscape where heavy industry and early aviation meet established settlements. Extensive strip mine workings are visible throughout the townships of Washington and Perry, illustrating the intense extraction of coal and clay that defined the local economy during the mid-twentieth century. Transportation infrastructure is dense, with the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York Central railroads converging near the city, while the Zanesville Municipal Airport and Riverside Airport highlight the era's regional growth. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds and institutions, including Greenwood Cemetery, St Thomas Cem, and the St Nicholas Sch, which served the growing neighborhoods of Zanesville and North Zanesville.
