2023 Map of Chesterville

About this map

The Kokosing River and its varied tributaries, including Sylvester Run and the South Branch Kokosing River, define the rural geography of this Morrow County landscape. The village of Chesterville serves as a primary hub, while smaller named points such as Sparta and Lucerne reflect the long-standing agricultural settlement patterns of central Ohio. Genealogists will find a wealth of local-history landmarks preserved here, from the Salem Methodist Episcopal Cem in the northeast to the Maple Grove Cem near the heart of Chesterville. Significant terrain features like Hulse Hill rise above the drainage of Light Creek, illustrating the glacial topography that influenced early road placement. The map also captures several distinct water crossings and bends, such as Cox Ripple and the winding course of Mile Run, providing a precise record of the regional hydrography.
