About this map

Bremen serves as the central hub for this early 1960s survey, situated at the junction of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads. The surrounding landscape of Fairfield and Perry Counties is defined by the winding paths of Rush Creek and Little Rush Creek, which frame a region heavily marked by the energy industry. Numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells are scattered across the hillsides, reflecting a local economy tied to natural resource extraction alongside traditional farming.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous small burial grounds and rural parishes that dot the township lines, including Hilyard Cem, Mendonite Cem, and the Olive Branch Ch. To the west, the small settlement of North Berne and landmarks like Swartz Mill provide further evidence of the area's late 19th-century development patterns. The map also records specialized features such as a Mausoleum near Grandview Cem, highlighting the established community infrastructure during this era.
