2023 Map of Mount Gilead

About this map

The Morrow County Courthouse serves as the focal point of Mount Gilead, the seat of Morrow County, in a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Olentangy River basin. The village is surrounded by several distinctive water bodies, including Mount Gilead Lakes and Upper Lake just to the east, while larger residential lake communities like Candlewood Lake and Hidden Lakes occupy the periphery. This survey reveals a dense concentration of rural burial grounds that speak to the area’s pioneer genealogy, such as Armstrong Cem, Montgomery Cem, and the Mount Tabor Methodist Episcopal Cem. The local geography is etched by the courses of Whetstone Creek and Shaw Creek, which meander through a grid of county roads and township lines. Transport and infrastructure are represented by the Morrow County Airport to the south and the small village of Edison to the west.
