1960 Map of Centerton

About this map

Agricultural lands of the Connecticut Reserve define this portion of north-central Ohio, where the townships of Reed, Norwich, Venice, and Richmond converge. The landscape is marked by a legacy of early surveying, specifically the Western Boundary Lands Based on First Principal Meridian Connecticut Reserve. This boundary dictates the grid of rural roads like Scottwood Road and Coder Road that partition the drainage basins of Honey Creek and Brokenknife Creek. The tiny settlement of Centerton serves as a local hub at the intersection of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, while further west, the Norfolk and Western line bypasses Omar. Local heritage is anchored by rural institutions such as Bethel Ch, Pisgah Ch, and the Township Sch, alongside the Omar Cem and a centralized Townhall located near Bullhead Road.
