2016 Map of Bellville

About this map

The village of Bellville serves as the focal point of this Richland County landscape, situated along the Clear Fork Mohican River. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Schweitzer Hill in the northeast to the significant water bodies in the south, including Knox Lake and the North Br Kokosing River Lake. Numerous small settlements such as Darlington, Bangorville, and Palmyra are linked by a dense network of township roads and county highways that crisscross the borders of Morrow and Knox counties. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural acreage, evidenced by several family and community burial grounds including the Old Center Cem, Ankenytown Cem, and Ruhl Cem. The area maintains its rural character with features like Timberline Camp Lake and the Bender Airport, reflecting a community defined by its waterways and agricultural tradition.
