USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Blanchard River and its meandering tributaries, including Potato Run and Ripley Run, define the rural landscape of this Hardin County area in the early 1960s. The village of Forest serves as a central hub, where the crossing of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads once drove the local economy. Evidence of the region’s agricultural and extractive history is scattered across the township lines, including numerous Gas Wells, an Oil Well, and a Quarry near the small settlement of McVitty.
