About this map

The city of Galion anchors the northern reaches of this landscape where the Olentangy River begins its course. To the south and west, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural homesteads and historic hamlets, including Iberia, Saint James, and West Point. This document reveals the intricate layout of the regional water system, highlighted by the Amann Reservoir and Powers Reservoir, which serve as prominent landmarks in an area otherwise defined by steady agricultural use and the meandering paths of Rocky Fork and Whetstone Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the high density of family and community burial grounds documented here. Named sites such as Pletcher Cem, Forbes Cem, and the German Evangelical Lutheran Cem are meticulously placed alongside early transport routes like Galion-New Winchester Rd. The inclusion of the Ebenézer Methodist Episcopal Cem near Iberia further illustrates the established religious and social centers of Crawford and Morrow counties.
