2016 Map of Olive Green

About this map

Big Walnut Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Walnut Cr and Prairie Run, carve a network through this corner of Delaware and Morrow counties. The landscape is dotted with small, historic crossroads settlements like Olive Green, Stark Corners, and North Condit, reflecting a rural settlement pattern established along early township roads. Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial sites, such as the Porter-Stark Cem and the uniquely named Preacher Daveys Graveyard. The inclusion of Chambers Bridge and the Mount Pleasant Methodist Episcopal Churchyard provides specific touchpoints for local history, while the proximity of Sunbury to the southwest suggests the gradual transition from agricultural hinterland to suburban periphery. The terrain varies from the flat agricultural fields to more incised valleys like Monkey Hollow, which break the rectilinear grid of the county road system.
