That was then (1953).
Intro to chapter 24:
The picture taken eastward from a point about a mile east from West Jefferson, Ohio, [population in 1953 around 1,900; today 4,100] shows U.S. 40 following the line of the old National Road. A heavy rainstorm has just passed over, and the truck is throwing a spray of water.

Most interesting and pleasing is the careful protection of a fione sycaamore tree
This is now. About a mile east of West Jefferson. No sign of a sycamore tree and stone fence in this area.
Google Maps
West Jefferson is located 18 miles west of Columbus.
