About this map

Lewisburg serves as the central hub of this northern Logan County landscape, where the Seaboard System railroad tracks bisect the town and link it to outlying settlements like Jerico and Edwards. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Mud River and its numerous tributaries, including Wolf Lick Creek and Chitty CREEK. This 1951 survey, with 1980s updates, documents a rural community centered on agriculture and localized extraction, evidenced by Oil Wells noted near the northern boundary.

Local history is preserved through a network of small churches and family-linked burial grounds, such as Mt Pleasant Cem and Kinnley Chapel Cem. Educational landmarks like Thompson Sch and Harrison Sch appear alongside small named localities such as Cooperstown and Epleys. The southern portion of the quadrangle is notable for the significant water feature of Lake Herndon, which is fed by Edger Creek.
