1860 Census Enumeration Districts
The 1860 census did not have enumeration districts. Instead there was a place on each census page to show the nearest Post Office. The 1860 census had locations for Clifton, Meridian, Norman Hill, Flag Pond, and Cyrus. On a number of pages, the Post Office originally indicated had been crossed out and another written afterwards. The following Post Office locations should be used as a guide only. It is quite likely that there was considerable overlap from the preceding and subsequent page.
