About this map

Agricultural fields and small village centers define the landscape of western Ohio in the early 1960s. The village of Osgood and the town of Fort Loramie anchor the sheet, representing established community hubs surrounded by a dense network of country roads. Local life is centered around landmarks like St Martins Ch and cemeteries such as Walkup Cem and the Yoder Cem, providing valuable reference points for genealogists.

A notable vestige of 19th-century infrastructure, the Miami and Erie Canal, runs alongside Loramie Creek in the eastern portion of the survey, illustrating the historical transport corridor that once connected the Ohio River to Lake Erie. The drainage patterns of Mile Creek and Spring Creek dictate the layout of the townships, including Patterson and Loramie, while scattered Gravel Pits and an occasional Oil Well hint at the local resource extraction of the era.
