2010 Map of Chesterville

About this map

The Kokosing River and its various tributaries, such as the South Branch Kokosing River and Sylvester Run, define the drainage of this central Ohio landscape. The village of Chesterville serves as a primary hub, accompanied by smaller rural crossroads including Sparta, Lucerne, and Penlan. Evidence of local industry and recreational land use is present through the Anthony Mining Company Dam and Camp Wheeler near Rogers Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for its documentation of numerous local burial grounds, ranging from the Salem Methodist Episcopal Cemetery in the northeast to the Bloomfield Cemetery in the south. These sites, along with the Chester Baptist Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery, provide a detailed view of the community's historical development and the distribution of its early settlers across the township.
