About this map

Bellefontaine serves as the regional anchor on this Logan County landscape, with the Logan County Courthouse marking the civic center of the city. The town's grid expands toward Iron City and is flanked by numerous smaller communities like Gretna and West Liberty. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including Silver Lake, Twin Lakes, and McMillen Lake, which drain through the Mad River and its various tributaries.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of family and community burial sites scattered throughout the rural sections and village outskirts. From Parish Cem and Tanger Cem in the north to the Highland Memorial Cem and South Union Cem in the south, these landmarks provide a clear record of the area's early families and church settlements. The western edge of the map follows the historic Bokengehalas Cr and McKees Cr, illustrating the relationship between the county's drainage patterns and its early road networks.
