About this map

Rawson and Mount Cory serve as the primary hubs in this Western Ohio landscape, situated within a grid of established townships including Union and Eagle. The region is defined by its agricultural and transit infrastructure, where the Norfolk and Western railroad and modern highway interchanges like Interchange 78 cut across traditional land lines. Local education and community life are anchored at the Cory-Rawson High Sch and several country churches such as Pleasant View Ch and Bethesda Ch.

Waterways like Ottawa Creek, Tiderishi Creek, and the Olive Branch drain the terrain toward Ross Lake, while numerous family-named burial grounds like Flick Cem and Cannonsburg Cem offer significant points of interest for genealogists. The map also captures specialized transport and industrial landmarks, including the Bluffton Landing Field and a local Gravel Pit, reflecting the area's mid-century economic character.
