1972 Map of Borculo

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The agricultural heart of Ottawa County is revealed in this 1970s study, defined by an intricate network of drainage systems and small settlements. The landscape around Borculo and Olive Center is heavily shaped by water management, featuring named channels like the Worley Drain and Vinans Drain that supported the region's farming economy. In the south, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts across the corner near Crisp, while the eastern edge is defined by the winding course of the Bass River and Bear Creek. This era shows a community rooted in local institutions, from the Christian Sch in the southeast to the Ottawa Ch and small family burial grounds like the West Olive Cem. The map captures a transition toward recreation with the inclusion of the Crestview Golf Course, yet the primary character remains one of rural townships—Robinson, Olive, Allendale, and Blendon—plotted along a rigid grid of street-named avenues.
