1995 Map of Ashley

About this map

The village of Ashley sits at the intersection of Morrow Co and Delaware Co in central Ohio, serving as a focal point for this agrarian landscape in the mid-1990s. The village is anchored by local infrastructure like the Waterworks and the Richardson Airport, while the Conrail line provides a north-south transit corridor through the heart of town. To the northwest, the terrain is defined by the Whetstone Creek valley and the upper reaches of the Delaware Reservoir, which feeds into the Delaware State Wildlife Area. This map documents a dense network of family and community history through its numerous burial grounds, such as Ashley Union Cem and the ancient Mounds Cem. Small rural settlements like Shawtown and Westfield are connected by a grid of historic routes, including the Cardington Treaty Road, reflecting a landscape deeply rooted in 19th-century treaty boundaries and early township divisions.
