About this map

Liberty Center and the small hamlet of Medora anchor this rural landscape in Warren County during the early 1980s. The area is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a network of township boundaries including White Oak, Otter, Squaw, and Liberty. Local history is preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Indian Valley Cem, Schaver Cem, and Smith Cem, which are scattered among the drainage basins of Squaw Creek and Otter Creek.

The map reveals a transition into public recreation areas with the presence of Hickory Hills County Park and Otter Creek County Park, while the south-central portion shows the meeting point of three counties: Warren, Clarke, and Lucas. Geographers and genealogists can trace the early road system, including named routes like SW 98th Avenue and SE 74th Avenue, which connected the rural congregation at Bethel Chapel to the surrounding farmsteads.
