1960 Map of Oceola

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this agricultural landscape, a persistent historical line that predates the standard township grids of Tod and Holmes. Settlement is centered on Oceola and the edge of Nevada, connected by a network of rural roads such as the Bucyrus Nevada Road. The drainage patterns of Broken Sword Creek and the Sandusky River dominate the topography, while industrial activity is noted at the Quarry and Quarry Lake. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like the American Ch, Mt Zion Sch, and Maple Grove Park. The presence of the New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads highlights the importance of rail transit through this portion of Wyandot and Crawford counties during the mid-century era.
