2016 Map of Lancaster

About this map

Mt Pleasant rises as a prominent landmark over the city of Lancaster, where the Wheeling Street Bridge and the Zane rail line mark the historic transit corridors through Fairfield County. The landscape south of the city centers on the Hocking River valley, leading toward the settlements of Horns Mill and Sugar Grove. This map provides significant genealogical value through its density of rural burial grounds, including the Forest Rose Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and the Fairfield School For Boys Cem. Educational and social institutions are well-represented, from the Ohio Univ - Lancaster Campus to the County Infirmary. Water features such as Baldwin Run, Tarkiln Run, and the Boka Woods Number One Reservoir illustrate the drainage patterns that shaped local development and agriculture.
