1913 Map of Bellefontaine

About this map

Indian Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Logan County landscape, its waters dotted with Orchard Island and Wolf Island during an era of significant regional connectivity. The city of Bellefontaine serves as a major hub for the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago and St Louis RR, while the rural surroundings are defined by a dense network of numbered schoolhouses and small settlements like Degraff and Quincy. A notable historical boundary, the Treaty Line, cuts diagonally through Mc Arthur and Bloomfield townships, marking a legacy of land division in the Miami River valley.
