About this map

Indian Lake dominates the northeast corner of this 1961 survey, where the leisure economy of Russells Point and Lakeview flourished alongside the New York Central railroad line. The lake's shoreline is defined by numerous named landforms including Orchard Island, Wolf Island, and Paradise Island, with recreational sites like Crystal Beach and Fox Island State Park serving the local community.

South and west of the water, the landscape transitions to the structured agricultural grids of Stokes and Bloomfield townships. This area is bisected by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and the Greenville Treaty Line, historical markers that continue to influence property divisions and road layouts like Miami River Road. Smaller settlements such as Bloom Center and Brandywine are anchored by local landmarks like Rum Creek Ch and Plum Cem, offering a detailed view of Logan County's mid-century rural character.
