About this map

Milford Center sits at the heart of this Central Ohio landscape where Big Darby Creek and Buck Run converge. The village serves as a hub for the surrounding agricultural townships, connected by the Penn Central railroad corridors that cross the plains. To the north, the sprawling campus of the State Reformatory for Women stands as a significant regional landmark, while the southern reaches of the map show a more rural character defined by watercourses like Treacle Creek and Little Darby Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can find several family and community burial grounds, including Buck Run Cem, McDonald Cem, and Connor Cem. Evidence of early civic life is seen in the Township Sch at Milford Center and the 8th Ave Sch near Marysville. A notable cultural detail is the Covered Bridge on the lower reaches of Big Darby Creek, preserving a traditional crossing method into the mid-20th century.
