About this map

Arlington and Jenera anchor this Hancock County landscape, where the agricultural grid of Northwest Ohio is punctuated by an active oil-and-gas industry. The 1960s terrain is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of Eagle Creek and Tiderishi Creek, which wind through the townships of Eagle and Jackson. Numerous family and community landmarks are documented, including the Hartman Cem, Bishop Cem, and Keller Cem, along with social centers like the Grange Hall.

Industrial infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Norfolk and Western and Penn Central rail lines that served the region's shipping needs. The map records several Oil Well sites and gas wells scattered across the farmland, reflecting the subsurface resources that shaped the local economy. Religious life is well-marked through sites such as Salem Ch, St Pauls Ch, and the Trinity Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research in this rural corridor.
