About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts a diagonal path across this central Ohio landscape, marking a significant historical line of demarcation near the village of Morral. In the early 1960s, the region was characterized by its structured grid of rural roads and the heavy influence of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, which bisects the townships of Pitt, Salt Rock, and Grand Prairie. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and branches of the Scioto River and Little Sandusky River, which drain the surrounding farmland and the Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area.

Community life centers on small settlements like Harpster and Little Sandusky, with scattered local landmarks including the Ridgedale Sch and various family cemeteries like Bretz Cem. Modern infrastructure is represented by a Gaging Station, a Drive-in Theater, and industrial features such as a Claypit and Quarry, illustrating the area's transition between agricultural tradition and mid-century development.
