1961 Map of Osgood

About this map

The Treaty Line carves a significant historical diagonal across this landscape, separating the Congress Lands to the north from the Miami River Survey to the south. This boundary, rooted in the 1795 Treaty of Greenville, dictates the orientation of the local grid and farm lanes throughout Patterson and Marion townships. The agrarian character of the region is punctuated by a dense network of family-named roads, including Houschilt Road and Pittsenbarger Road, alongside several rural burial grounds such as Yoder Cem and English Cem. To the east, the Miami and Erie Canal (Abandoned) runs parallel to Loramie Creek, marking the path of 19th-century commerce that helped establish Fort Loramie. This survey also documents local industrial and resource extraction points like Gravel Pits, an Oil Well, and a Gas Well near the village of Osgood.
