About this map

Kiser Lake State Park dominates the central landscape of this Champaign County region, showing the developed recreational shoreline at Kiser Lake including Camp Shawano and the State Landing Strip. To the south, the village of Saint Paris serves as a local hub, featuring the Sewage Disposal plant and Harmon Memorial Park along the Pennsylvania Road. The surrounding rural townships are connected by the north-south route of the Detroit Toledo and Ironton RR, which passes through the grain and livestock country near Rosewood.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds and rural landmarks, such as Halterman Cem, Bodey Cem, and the Spring Grove Cem near Heck Hill. Small crossroad communities like Millerstown, Carysville, and Crayon remain distinct, often anchored by local institutions like Mt Pleasant Ch or the McBeth Sch, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern of mid-century western Ohio.
