2016 Map of Caledonia

About this map

Caledonia sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the Olentangy River begins its course through Marion County. The map captures a primarily agricultural region structured by the Public Land Survey System, with numerous family-named cemeteries scattered across the townships. Settlements like New Winchester, Martel, and Climax serve as local hubs along the section-line road network. The terrain is defined by several waterways including Mud Run, Bee Run, and Noblet Drain, which drain the surrounding fields into the Olentangy. Cultural history is evident in the preservation of sites such as the Caledonia Graveyard and Monnett Chapel Cem, while Sugar Grove Lake provides a distinct hydraulic feature in the northeast. This 2016 survey documents the enduring rural character and genealogical landmarks of the Crawford, Marion, and Morrow county borderlands.
