About this map

The village of Belle Center anchors the southwest corner of this 1960 survey, situated near the Hardin Co Logan Co boundary. The landscape is a patchwork of agricultural woodlots and family-named routes such as Bingham Road and Shick Road. The New York Central railroad cuts diagonally through the terrain, passing through the settlement of Yelverton and providing a transportation spine for the rural economy.

Evidence of local community and industry is scattered across the townships of Richland and Taylor Creek, from the Sloan-Yelverton Cem and Norman Cem to several Gravel Pits and stone Quarries. Notable mid-century landmarks include a Drive-in Theater and a Fish Hatchery, located near the headwaters of the South Fork Miami River, reflecting a mix of leisure and natural resource management in this part of western Ohio.
