2019 Map of North Star

About this map

The agrarian borderlands of Mercer and Darke counties are captured here, centered on the crossroads of North Star and the nearby villages of Osgood and Yorkshire. This portion of western Ohio is defined by a dense network of country roads, such as US Rte 127 and Main St, which link small farmsteads across the townships of t15n and t12n. The drainage of the upper Wabash River and N Fork Stillwater River is supported by an extensive system of man-made waterways including Ward Ditch and Honsapple Ditch. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies numerous family and parish burial sites, such as Holsapple Cem, Shook Cem, and Saint Louis Cem, which reflect the area's deep-rooted settlement history and agricultural character in the late 2010s.
