About this map

Campbell Hill, the highest point in Ohio, anchors the western portion of this topographic study, overlooking a landscape defined by the Greenville Treaty Line and the rolling terrain of the Marmon Valley. Centered on the hub of Bellefontaine, the map illustrates a network of small agricultural and industrial centers including Urbana, Marysville, and Delaware. The expansion of the Columbus metropolitan area is visible in the southeast, where Dublin and Upper Arlington meet the Scioto River near the O'Shaughnessy Reservoir.

Evidence of the region's natural history and social development is clear, from the Olentangy Caverns to the State Reformatory For Women near Marysville. Conservation and aviation are represented by the Cedar Bog State Nature Preserve and the Ohio State University Airfield. Transportation corridors like the Conrail and Norfolk Southern rail lines continue to shape the movement between these historic county seats.
