2010 Map of Caledonia

About this map

Caledonia sits at the convergence of several rural thoroughfares in Marion County, serving as a primary settlement in a landscape defined by meandering watercourses and family-named cemeteries. The Olentangy River winds through the center of this region, joined by tributaries such as Mud Run and Flat Run. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of small community centers like New Winchester, Martel, and Climax, which remain connected by an organized grid of section-line roads. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the countryside, including Brucklacher Cemetery, Sixteen Cemetery, and the Monnett Chapel Cemetery adjacent to Monnett Chapel. The presence of the Sugar Grove Lake Dam and the New Winchester Golf Course indicates how the land has been adapted for recreation and water management alongside traditional agricultural uses. Tracing the routes of Caledonia Mud Pike and Marion Galion Rd reveals the historic transport skeleton that continues to support these crossroads towns.
