About this map

Mc Clure and Grelton anchor this Northwest Ohio landscape during a period of steady transition in the early 1970s. The region is defined by its rectilinear road grid, which follows section lines across the townships of Damascus and Richfield. The Norfolk and Western railroad cuts diagonally across the northern portion of the map, linking these small rural communities to larger trade networks.

Agricultural life is centered around several country churches and burial grounds, including St Johns Ch and Richfield Cem. The meandering path of Beaver Creek provides a sharp natural contrast to the rigid grid of county roads like Mermill Rd and Bays Rd. The inclusion of a Quarry and a Landing Strip near Westhope illustrates the localized industrial and transportation needs of this Henry County township during the era.
