About this map

The Greenville Treaty Line bisects this landscape, marking a significant historical boundary that influences the land divisions between Richland and McArthur townships. To the northwest, the waters of Indian Lake are dotted with numerous named landforms including Seminole Island, Shawnee Island, and Governors Island. This 1960s-era survey captures the area as a mix of recreational shoreline at Indian Lake State Park and established agricultural and civic life in the village of Huntsville.

Tracing the path of Cherokee Mans Run and the South Fork Great Miami River, the map reveals a network of rural infrastructure, from the Conrail line to numerous gravel pits and family cemeteries like Harrod Cem and Fry Cem. The presence of the County Home and the Local Sch in Huntsville provides a clear view of the mid-century social geography of Logan County, while the Spillway near Dunns Pond indicates the engineered nature of the local hydrology.
