2013 Map of Forest

About this map

The village of Forest serves as a focal point at the junction of Hardin and Wyandot counties, where a grid of local roads like Sandusky St and E Lima St meets the rail corridor of Railroad St. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by agricultural drainage and small rural settlements, including Patterson and the small siding or locality of MeVitty to the south. Waterways such as the Blanchard River, Ripley Run, and a significant channel known simply as The Outlet dictate the local topography. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous family and community burial sites, including Earlywine, Adams, Johnson, and Price cemeteries, which are scattered across the township sections. North of Forest, the Forest Field Airport provides a small aviation footprint amidst the vast tracts of farmland that dominate this portion of Ohio.
