About this map

Baltimore sits at the intersection of Fairfield County’s agricultural traditions and its industrial past, marked by the distinctive path of the Ohio Canal (Abandoned) which once served as a vital artery for transport. By the early 1960s, the New York Central railroad defined the local transit corridor, connecting Thurston and Pleasantville across a landscape of rolling townships like Liberty and Walnut.

Local history is preserved in a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the McNamee Cem, Hampson Cem, and the larger Floral Hills Memory Gardens (Cemetery). While the village centers show established residential grids with landmarks like Johnson Park, the surrounding rural areas are dotted with isolated Oil Wells and spiritual hubs such as St Peters Ch and Maple Grove Ch. The drainage patterns of Walnut Creek and Ewing Run continue to shape the development of these small farming communities.
