About this map

Campbell Hill, the highest point in Ohio, dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape alongside the Bellefontaine Air Force Station. The terrain drops into the valley of the Mad River, where the village of Zanesfield and its namesake Zanesfield Cem are positioned. This 1960s survey documents a region defined by its narrow ridges and deep valleys, including the Marmon Valley and the Hadley Bottom Creek drainage.

Local history is preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as the Pickrell Cem near Pickrelltown and the Yoder Cem. To the south, the notable Macochee Castle and Macacheek Castle stand near Macochee Creek, illustrating the unique architectural heritage of Logan County. Transportation routes are in transition, with an Old RR Grade and a Proposed Railroad cutting across Jefferson and Monroe townships, reflecting the changing infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
