About this map

Clearport serves as a central landmark in this 1961 survey, where the township boundaries of Madison and Perry meet amidst the high relief of the Fairfield and Hocking county line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Clear Creek and its many tributaries, including Muddy Prairie Run and Arney Run. The map provides a detailed view of rural life before extensive modern development, noting family-named sites such as Shaeffer Cem and Kern Cem.

Religious and community centers are frequent, from Hopewell Ch in the north to Morgan Chapel and Stump Run Ch further south. Distinctive geographic features like Emmanuel Knob rise above the valley floors, while Lake Romona and Camp Indianola highlight the area's recreational geography. Small settlements like Drinkle and Buena Vista are connected by a network of rural routes including Mowery Road and Moccasin Road.
