1960 Map of Olivesburg

About this map

The boundary between the Congress Lands and the old Connecticut Western Reserve Base Line Road bisects this landscape, marking a significant historical shift in Ohio's early land surveying and settlement patterns. The small community of Adario sits central to the quadrangle, surrounded by a network of family-named roads like Strimple Road and Ninevah Road that trace the rural development of Richland and Ashland counties. To the south, the waters of the Black Fork Mohican River feed into Charles Mill Lake, while the north is drained by the headwaters of the Vermilion River. Genealogists will find notable local landmarks such as Amiah Sch, Clear Creek Ch, and the Blooming Grove Cem, which serve as anchors for the scattered agricultural settlements of Shenandoah and Olivesburg.
