About this map

O'Shaughnessy Reservoir dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its waters held by the O'Shaughnessy Dam where the Scioto River flows south toward Franklin County. The 1960s infrastructure, including a prominent Radio Tower and Gaging Sta, overlays a deeply rooted rural layout defined by family-named roads like Hinton Road and Smart Cole Road. Small communities and historic junctions such as Bellepoint, Watkins, and New California serve as local anchors.

Genealogical interest is found in the numerous burial sites and former civic centers, including Watkins Cem, Mill Creek Cem, and Oller Cem, alongside the Ryan Sch. The Penn Central railroad tracks cut across the southwestern corner near Arnold, while the Scioto Valley Ch stands near the river, illustrating the social and transport networks that sustained these townships through the mid-20th century.
