2016 Map of Ostrander

About this map

Ostrander anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of Mill Creek. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Scioto River, which cuts through the eastern half of the area, crossed by the Bellefontaine Bridge near Warrensburg. This map reveals a high density of small rural burial grounds, such as Edinburg Cem and Newhouse Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Delaware County. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered hamlets like Lybrand and Fairview Corners, linked by a grid of township highways and county roads. Numerous smaller waterways, including Bokes Creek and Blues Creek, drain the agricultural fields toward the Scioto, illustrating the hydrological network that shaped the development of local farmsteads and transport routes.
