2016 Map of York Center

About this map

The agricultural landscape of northwest Union County is anchored by the rural settlements of Byhalia and York Center. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent township road grid that has defined this portion of Ohio for generations, connecting small communities and family burial grounds such as Burnside Cem and East York Cem. The hydrology of the region is characterized by a series of parallel creeks and runs, including Bokes Cr, Fulton Cr, and Rocky Fork, which carve subtle drainage patterns through the till plains. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for local landmarks like Summersville and West Jackson, along with specialized terrain features such as Powder Lick Run and Brush Run. The placement of Byhalia Cem and Summersville Cem near their respective villages offers a clear look at the traditional spatial relationship between central Ohio's rural populations and their community institutions.
