About this map

Templeton and Oxford stand as the primary hubs of this Benton County landscape, where the convergence of the Norfolk and Western and Conrail lines highlights a region defined by its rail connectivity. The map captures a transition in agricultural infrastructure, evidenced by Storage Bins and a Gravel Pit positioned near the industrial corridors.

Hydrological features like Big Pine Creek and Little Pine Creek are supported by an extensive network of man-made waterways, including Greenwood Ditch and Brumm Ditch, reflecting the systematic drainage required for the area's intensive cultivation. Local history is anchored by the Justus Cem and the Township Sch, while the presence of a Golf Course near Oxford indicates the post-war development of recreational space alongside traditional farmsteads.
