About this map

Mt Vernon serves as the focal point of this regional study, showing the city's development alongside the Kokosing River. The detailed street grid includes Sandusky St and Gambier St, connecting the urban center to institutions like the Mt Vernon State Hospital and the campus of Kenyon College in Gambier. Public life is well-documented through the presence of the County Fairground, the Knox-Vernon Speedway, and several local parks such as Phillips Park.

Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into the rural townships of Berlin, Pike, and Monroe. These areas are characterized by a network of creeks, including Schenck Creek and Mud Runs, interspersed with historic local landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites and country churches noted across the quadrangle, such as Mound View Cem, Pike Cem, and Berlin Ch. The industrial footprint of the era is evidenced by several Gravel Pit operations and the rail corridors of the Baltimore And Ohio and Conrail lines.
