About this map

Toulon and Wyoming serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Stark County, where the agricultural landscape is carved by the winding Spoon River. This 1983 survey captures the area as the Burlington Northern railroad continued to define the local shipping corridor, connecting these small prairie towns to wider markets. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous small burial grounds such as Snareville Cem, Mawbey Cem, and the County Farm Cem.

Drainage patterns are clearly visible through the systems of Indian Creek and Jug Run, while the presence of the Industrial Waste Pond and private aviation sites like the Hausmann Landing Strip reflect the modernization of the rural economy. Significant township boundaries, including Toulon, Essex, and Penn, provide essential context for property researchers tracing land ownership in the late twentieth century.
