About this map

Magnetic Springs and its surrounding countryside are defined by the winding paths of Bokes Creek and Blues Creek in central Ohio. This 1961 survey, with revisions from 1973, details a landscape transitioning between its agricultural roots and mid-century development. The village of Magnetic Springs is anchored by its Hospital and Maple Dell Cem, reflecting its history as a localized health destination.

Genealogists can find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Maskill Cem, Scott Cem, and Hopewell Cem. The transport infrastructure tells a story of changing times, from the active Erie Lackawanna line to an old railroad grade that hints at former routes through Pharisburg. In the southern reaches, the County Home and new recreational spaces like Woodview Park illustrate the evolving social footprint of the county during the post-war era.
