About this map

Waynesfield and New Hampshire serve as the primary residential hubs in this West-Central Ohio landscape, which was updated in the early 1980s to reflect suburban expansion and local land-use changes. The southern edge of the survey is dominated by the recreational waters of Indian Lake, featuring several named islands including Chippewa Island and Red Oak Island. The topography transitions from the structured grid of farm roads and drainage ditches like Muchinippi Creek to the naturalistic shoreline of Indian Lake State Park.

Genealogists will find several historical burial grounds preserved among the agricultural tracts, such as Concord Cem, Berry Cem, and Willow Branch Cem. The map provides a look at the rural infrastructure of the era, from the small Landing Field near the center of the township to the intersection of the Scioto River and Fork Road in the eastern section. The presence of the Virginia Congress Military Lands District boundary reflects the historical surveying methods that shaped the region's property lines.
