About this map

Cowan State Park and the expansive Cowan Lake dominate the southeastern landscape of this Clinton County region, where the Spillway Elevation 960 and a Gaging Station mark the controlled waters of Cowan Creek. The village of Clarksville serves as a local hub near the confluence of Todd Fork and Sewell Run, situated along the Pennsylvania railroad line. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by numerous family and community landmarks such as Villars Chapel, Jonahs Run Ch, and the Township Sch.

Beyond the main settlements, the terrain is dotted with smaller locales like Hickoryville and Vandervorts Corners. The area's agricultural and industrial character is preserved through the mapping of various Gravel Pits and a network of named country roads, including Katys Lane and Pansy Road. This survey documents a mid-century Ohio landscape at the intersection of recreation, rail transport, and traditional township life.
