2019 Map of Olive Green

About this map

Big Walnut Creek and its many tributaries, including Culver Cr and Dry Run, define the rolling geography of this central Ohio landscape. The map reveals a dense network of nineteenth-century rural institutions, particularly evident in the concentration of denominational cemeteries and churchyards. Small settlements like Olive Green and East Liberty serve as local anchors, while the crossroads of Stark Corners and Fargo illustrate the historical distribution of small-scale agricultural communities before the expansion of nearby suburban centers. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, such as Preacher Daveys Graveyard and the Porter-Stark Cem. The layout of the roads, such as Monkey Hollow Rd, follows the irregular drainage patterns of Sugar Cr and Long Run, reflecting a transportation network deeply influenced by the local creek system.
