1961 Map of Zanesville East

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Muskingum River corridor serves as the industrial and transit spine of this mid-century landscape, where the city of Zanesville expands eastward from its historic riverbanks. Three major rail lines—the Baltimore and Ohio, Penn Central, and Norfolk and Western—converge here, reflecting the area's importance as a regional transportation hub. Outside the urban center, the terrain is defined by extractive industry and rural infrastructure, from numerous strip mines to the sprawling Zanesville Municipal Airport. Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, including several significant burial grounds like Greenwood Cemetery and St Thomas Cem, alongside country schools such as Parkinson Sch and Monroe Sch. The transition from river-town commerce to upland coal mining is clearly visible through the numerous mine labels and the small settlements of Sunray and Sonora that dot the hillsides.
