About this map

The Olentangy River and the upper reaches of Delaware Lake dominate this central Ohio landscape, where the borders of Marion, Morrow, and Delaware Counties converge. The village of Waldo serves as a primary hub, situated near the intersection of several key routes including Columbus Sandusky Rd S and Marion Waldo Rd. The settlement pattern reflects a long-standing agricultural tradition, with numerous family-named cemeteries such as Augenstein Cem and Drake Cem scattered across the township sections.

Smaller hamlets like Norton, Troyton, and Lynn mark the transition from the river valley to the surrounding plains. The local geography is further defined by a network of waterways including Whetstone Creek, Brondige Run, and Norton Run. Significant crossings such as Jacoby Bridge and Claypool Bridge indicate the historical importance of the river for local transportation. For genealogists and local historians, the concentration of small burial grounds like Wolfinger Cem and Peak Cem offers a detailed record of early families in the region.
