About this map

Pickaway and Fairfield counties meet along a landscape defined by rolling agricultural drainage and early regional thoroughfares like the Ashville-Fairfield Road. This survey, updated in the early 1970s, captures a network of rural crossroads and established cemeteries that provide significant data for local genealogists, including East Union Cem and the Dutch Hollow Cem. The southeastern corner is anchored by the village of Amanda, where the Penn Central railroad cuts through the terrain near Muddy Prairie Creek.

Infrastructure such as multiple pipelines and several distinct schools and churches, like the East Union Ch at Walnut, reflect the mid-century development of these townships. To the southwest, the creation of A W Marion State Park around Hargus Creek shows the transition of land use from purely agricultural to includes recreational conservation, while long-standing routes like the Bells Station-Fairfield Road continue to link the scattered farmsteads.
