About this map

Salt Fork Lake dominates the northwest quadrant of this Guernsey County survey, its irregular shoreline defined by inlets like Fogle Run and Salt Fork State Park and Wildlife Area. The landscape transitions from the protected lands of the state park and Moore Mem Woods County Park to the established agricultural and residential corridors of Old Washington and Winterset. For local historians, the map preserves the location of rural community hubs including the Buckeye Trail High Sch, Madison Sch, and several houses of worship like the Full Gospel Ch.

The infrastructure of the late 20th century is evident through the numerous Drill Holes scattered across the townships, indicating subsurface resource extraction, alongside the Brothers Aviation Landing Strip and the County Fairground. Waterways such as Brushy Fork, Coon Run, and Beeham Run drain the rolling terrain, while named roads like Putney Ridge Road and Birmingham Road connect the smaller settlements of Elizabethtown, Easton, and Warrentown.
