About this map

The Sandusky River and Broken Sword Creek define the agrarian landscape of Wyandot County in this early 1960s study. The terrain is structured by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which slants across the eastern portion of the map, cutting through the township of Eden. The village of Nevada serves as a local hub, situated where the Penn Central railroad corridors intersect the local road network.

Smaller settlements and community landmarks are scattered throughout the rural landscape, including Edenville and the peripheral Harpster City Bdy. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, such as the Old Rock Run Cem and Ulrich Cem, alongside country congregations like Bethel Ch. An Oil Field and several gravel pits indicate the area's mid-century natural resource extraction, while a Covered Bridge over the river preserves a link to earlier 19th-century infrastructure.
