1961 Map of Zanesville West

About this map

The Muskingum River and Licking River converge at the heart of this mid-century survey, defined by the iconic Y Bridge in Zanesville. This era captures the city's westward expansion through neighborhoods like Owens Hills and Licking View, while industrial patterns are visible in the numerous Strip Mines and Gravel Pits dotting the Springfield and Newton townships. The landscape preserves numerous genealogical anchors, including Woodlawn Cem and the United Jewish Cem, alongside rural landmarks like McKendree Cem and Meadow Farm Ch. Transportation networks are well-established, with the Baltimore and Ohio and Penna Central railroads serving the river valleys. Outside the urban core, the creation of Dillon Lake has altered the northern terrain, while the County Fairground remains a prominent fixture of local civic life.
