About this map

The village of Shiloh serves as a focal point for this north-central Ohio landscape at the opening of the 1960s, where the New York Central Road corridor cuts diagonally through the townships of Cass and Blooming Grove. The map preserves a distinct transition between the traditional agricultural grid and the natural drainage of the Black Fork Mohican River, which feeds into the Charles Mill Reservoir in the southeast.

Evidence of the region's colonial surveying history is visible along the northern edge at the Connecticut Western Reserve Line. Rural life is anchored by small crossroads such as Planktown, Rome, and Ganges, while numerous local landmarks like Old Salem Ch and Mount Hope Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The presence of multiple Gravel Pits along the river valleys highlights the extraction industries that supported local infrastructure.
