About this map

The Little Miami River and Todd Fork define the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, where the Pennsylvania RR follows the river valley through Morrow. The region is characterized by small agricultural hubs like Butlerville and Edwardsville, connected by a network of gravel and improved roads including the General Duncan Mc Arthur Highway. In the southern portion, Pleasant Plain sits along the Baltimore and Ohio RR, serving as a central point for the surrounding farmsteads.

Local history and genealogy are deeply embedded in the land through numerous family and community landmarks. Researchers can find the Harlan-Butlerville Sch and distinctive church sites like Leather Ear Ch. The map provides a detailed record of rural burial grounds, such as Runyan Cem, Spurling Cem, and New Hope Cem, many of which are tucked away off secondary roads like Starkey Road and Whitacre Road.
