About this map

Pennsylvania railroad tracks bisect the landscape at the turn of the 1960s, connecting the village of Nevada to the smaller settlement of Edenville. This agricultural portion of Wyandot County is defined by its drainage into the Sandusky River and Broken Sword Creek, which meander through a grid of townships including Crane, Eden, Pitt, and Ant Rim. The map preserves the location of numerous 19th-century church and cemetery sites, such as Salem Ch Cem and Old Rock Run Cem, which often served as the social anchors for scattered farmsteads.

A notable historical landmark is the Covered Bridge spanning the Sandusky River in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map also delineates the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, a significant historical line cutting diagonally across the northeastern corner. Smaller waterways like Cranberry Run and Rock Run provide detail for those tracing family land tracts near the Eden Sch or the Quarry near Camp Young.
