About this map

Sellars and St John are small anchors within this mid-century landscape where Camden County meets Pulaski County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and creek beds, including Wet Glaize Creek, Conns Creek, and Deberry Creek. Social life in these rural townships is marked by numerous country churches such as Mountview Church and Elm Grove Church.

Evidence of shifting rural populations is visible in the status of local educational buildings, where facilities like Oaklawn School and Fairview School are noted as abandoned. The map also captures specialized land uses of the era, such as a Fish Hatchery near Sellars and several family-named burial grounds including Thornsberry Cemetery and Miles Cemetery, providing a detailed record for genealogists and local historians researching the Jackson, Tavern, and Auglaize districts.
