1961 Map of Blooming Grove

About this map

Chestnut Ridge forms a prominent north-south spine across this north-central Ohio landscape, dividing the headwaters of Whetstone Creek from the drainage basin of the Clear Fork Mohican River. The map captures a rural interior at the meeting point of Crawford, Richland, and Morrow counties, characterized by a dense network of country roads like Lexington-Steam Corners Road and the path of the Erie Railroad in the northwest. Significant local landmarks include the crossroads of Steam Corners and Jugs Corners, along with the massive expanse of the Clear Fork Reservoir in the northeast.
