About this map

Shauck and North Woodbury anchor this rural landscape in Morrow County, where the upper reaches of the Kokosing River and its numerous tributaries create a finely dissected terrain. The map documents a classic Midwestern agricultural pattern of small crossroads settlements like Williamsport and Pulaskiville, which are connected by a dense grid of township roads. One of the more distinct natural features is the Owl Creek Prairie, providing a contrast to the surrounding creek valleys.

Local history is reflected in the placement of small burial grounds such as Pleasant Grove Cem and Yankee Street Cem, as well as the Owl Creek Cem located near the eastern border. The presence of Lanker Airport and the post office at Shauck illustrate how modern infrastructure and traditional village centers coexist. Waterways like Sylvester Run and the N Br Kokosing River define the local drainage, influencing the layout of the many township and county roads that crisscross the quadrangle.
