1960 Map of Oceola

About this map

Broken Sword Creek meanders through this portion of Crawford and Wyandot Counties, passing the settlement of Oceola. The landscape in 1960 reflects a transition from early frontier boundaries to a structured mid-century agricultural and industrial grid. Evidence of the region's surveying history is preserved in the Old Indian Treaty Boundary Road, which cuts diagonally across the township lines. Near the creek, Quarry Lake and a nearby Quarry indicate the local extractive industry, while the village of Nevada serves as a hub for the Pennsylvania railroad line. Rural life is anchored by community landmarks such as Holmes-Liberty Sch and Mt Zion Sch, alongside long-standing spiritual centers like American Ch and Bethel Cem. To the south, the Sandusky River flows past Camp Michael, showing the river's role in local recreation and drainage for the surrounding farmland.
