About this map

Pittsville and Columbus anchor this rural landscape in Johnson County, defined by the complex drainage network of the Blackwater River system. The confluence of several significant waterways, including the N Fork Blackwater River, S Fork Blackwater River, and Little Blackwater Cr, dictates the layout of the local road grid. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road system, with routes like NW 600th RD and NW 400th RD carving through the countryside to connect outlying farms and homesteads.

Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of the Blackwater Cemetery and Haymaker Cemetery, which serve as quiet landmarks among the fields. The terrain is marked by numerous small tributaries such as Pin Oak Cr, Brush Cr, and Butcher Br, which wind through the township boundaries of T47N and T46N. This survey documents the persistent agricultural character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
