About this map

New Washington sits at the heart of this North Central Ohio landscape, where the agricultural grid of Cranberry and Auburn townships meets a network of early transit lines. This 1960 field-checked survey highlights a region defined by its small crossroads settlements and rural parish infrastructure. The Pennsylvania Railroad cuts a diagonal path through the southeastern corner, serving the village of Tiro and the small cluster at Dekalb.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the distribution of family and parish burial grounds, including St Bernard Cem, Goodwill Cem, and Oakland Cem. The terrain is drained by the winding courses of Honey Creek and Broken Sword Creek, which weave through the farmstead-dotted countryside. The map also captures the distinct boundary lines between Seneca, Huron, and Crawford counties, reflecting the complex early surveying of the Congress Lands and the Western Reserve.
