About this map

The O'Shaughnessy Reservoir and the Scioto River corridor dominate this late 1960s landscape, serving as a focal point for the region's geography and infrastructure. The O'Shaughnessy Dam Spillway anchors the southern end of the water body, while the surrounding townships like Jerome and Concord show a transition from traditional rural agriculture toward modern development. Family and community histories are preserved in numerous small burial grounds, including Bouic Cem, Oller Cem, and Watkins Cem.

Infrastructure is well-defined by the Penn Central railroad cutting through the southwestern corner near Arnold and New California. Local education and religious life are marked by sites like the Ryan Sch and Scioto Valley Ch. The map also details a network of named country roads, such as Hinton Mill Road and Mitchell Dewitt Road, which connect established settlements like Watkins and Bellepoint across the undulating terrain of Union and Delaware counties.
