1913 Map of Bellefontaine

About this map

The waters of Indian Lake dominate the northern landscape of Logan County, dotted with island landmarks such as Wolf Island and Orchard Island. This 1913 survey details a region defined by an intensive network of early twentieth-century transit, where the Ohio Electric Railway and the Toledo and Ohio Central Railway intersect at hubs like Huntsville and Bellefontaine. Rural life is meticulously documented through numbered schoolhouses and country congregations including Muchinippi Church and Quaker Church. The mapping reveals the social infrastructure of the era, specifically identifying the County Infirmary and the Childrens Home north of the county seat. Along the western edge, the path of the Greenville Road cuts through Bloomfield, while the Miami River and its various branches, such as Mud Branch, shape the agricultural valley.
