About this map

The village of Bethel serves as the central hub for this portion of Clermont County, showing a well-defined grid that includes essential civic landmarks like the Auditorium, Fire Sta, and Post Office. This 1968 revision captures the community as it expanded near the Bethel-Tate High Sch, while the northern landscape is dominated by the waters of William H Harsha Lake and the recreational grounds of East Fork State Park.

Beyond the village, the terrain is defined by a network of rural settlements and family-named landmarks. The map documents smaller communities such as Wiggonsville, Yankeetown, and Mt Olive, alongside numerous country churches like North Side Ch and Lakin Chapel. A winding system of local roads, including Crane Schoolhouse Road and Goodwin Schoolhouse Road, connects these disparate points, reflecting the area's transition from agricultural homesteads to a region influenced by the growing reservoir system.
