1960 Map of Ayersville

About this map

Ayersville serves as the primary hub in this corner of northwest Ohio, where the drainage patterns of Powell Run, Watson Run, and Sutphen Run dictate the local geography. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural landscape defined by family-named cemeteries such as Taylor Cem and Myers Cem, alongside a network of country churches including Highland Ch and Evangelical Ch. A notable landscape feature, the Hogback, rises between the forks of the Powell, while the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the Grange Hall speaks to the transport and social history of the area. Land use is largely agricultural, punctuated by small settlements like Arthur and Rice, and the private Bauer Landing Field south of Eagle Creek.
