About this map

De Graff (BM 1007) and Quincy serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural portion of Logan and Champaign counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Great Miami River and its various tributaries like Stony Creek and Bokengehalas Creek. The presence of several distinct cemeteries, such as Knight Cem, Means Cem, and Olive Chapel Cem, provides significant points of interest for genealogical research in these rural townships.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident at the turn of the 1960s, notably at the Shady Bowl Speedway in the south and the Miami Valley Camp near the river. Transport infrastructure is dominated by the crossing of the Detroit Toledo and Ironton Railroad and the New York Central Railroad, which intersect just west of Quincy. This intersection highlights the area's historical reliance on rail for moving goods through the fertile river valley.
