2016 Map of Forest

About this map

The Blanchard River and its varied tributaries like Buck Run, Ripley Run, and The Outlet define the drainage of this central Ohio landscape. The village of Forest serves as a local hub, situated at the intersection of several county roads and the historic path of Mad River St. Further south, the settlement of Patterson is closely associated with two local burial grounds, Price Cem and Patterson Cem. These small family and community cemeteries, including Earlywine Cem and Hueston Cem, are scattered across the township grid, providing a physical link to the area's agricultural heritage. The landscape is a patchwork of rural farmsteads and managed watercourses like Potato Run, where a well-established network of township roads and trails facilitates movement between the concentrated residential centers and the open fields.
