About this map

The village of Chesterville serves as the central hub of this Morrow County landscape, situated at the junction of several historic thoroughfares including the Waldo Chesterville Road. To the south, the village of Sparta anchors the southern portion of the quadrangle near Hulse Hill. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the Kokosing River and its South Branch, which carve through the undulating farmland.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from rural spiritual centers like Harmony Chapel and Mt Pisgah Ch to family-linked intersections such as Bowen Corners, Mead Corners, and Tim Corners. The map also details the recreational and community sites of the early 1960s, including Camp Wheeler on the shores of Rogers Lake. Numerous gravel pits scattered across the townships of Franklin and Chester point to the local extractive industries that shaped the area's mid-century economy.
