About this map

The Kenton city center anchors this mid-century topographic study, showing a bustling Hardin County hub defined by its intersection of the Penn Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads. The town's civic core is detailed with the Courthouse, Hospital, and several local schools such as Northwood Sch and Westview Sch. A significant boundary line marks the landscape south of the Scioto River, separating the Congress Lands from the Virginia Military District, a legacy of early American land surveying.

Outside the primary settlement, the rural character of Pleasant and Goshen townships is punctuated by small landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and local cemeteries including Grove Cem and St Marys Cem. Waterways like the Blanchard River and Tymochtee Creek wind through a landscape of agricultural roads and scattered religious sites, including Eureka Ch and Salem Ch, illustrating the distributed nature of rural Ohio life at this time.
