About this map

Mount Gilead serves as the focal point of this Morrow County landscape, situated at the confluence of local history and early surveyor boundaries. The Greenville Treaty Line bisects the southern portion of the map, marking a significant historical frontier between the United States Military District and the Congress Lands to the north. This division is reflected in the land patterns near Center Corners and the winding course of Big Walnut Creek.

The rail corridor of the Penn Central passes through the village of Edison, while the area east of the county seat is defined by the recreation and conservation of Mount Gilead State Park and Mount Gilead Lakes. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including River Cliff Cemetery, Bingham Cem, and Heskett Cem, alongside small country congregations at Boundary Ch and Mt Tabor Ch.
