About this map

The Sandusky River meanders across this rural Wyandot County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by water and early land divisions. The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts through the northeast, a sharp diagonal reminder of the region's historical shifting borders. In the town of Nevada, the Pennsylvania railroad establishes a firm east-west axis, anchoring the village and connecting it to smaller outlying communities like Edenville.

Family and community heritage are anchored by scattered landmarks such as the Covered Bridge over the Sandusky and a network of country churches including Salem Ch and Emanuel Ch. The map details numerous rural burial grounds like Rock Run Cem and Ulrich Cem, providing a precise look at the 1960s settlement pattern before modern agricultural expansion altered many of these smaller sites. From the banks of Broken Sword Creek to the simple structure of Eden Sch, the sheet preserves the mid-century character of this farming heartland.
