Progress Report of the Ohio Co-Operative Topographic Survey: To January 1, 1910 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Progress Report of the Ohio Co-Operative Topographic Survey: To January 1, 1910
In many instances these traverses were made on foot, the surveyor carrying his outfit on a light wheelbarrow equipped with a large wheel. He counted the revolutions of this to get distances. And took bearings with a compass. Private land lines were added from the county records. The results from these and other sources were fudged until they agreed, and published to a scale of usually two miles per inch, on sheets approximating 15x18 inches in size, a township to each sheet. The townships for each county were bound together in an atlas, together with more or less descriptive matter, prefaced with a state and ebunty map. Notwithstanding their crude method of making, these atlases are v'ery valuable for many purposes still. They show public and private land lines, buildings, bridges, streams, ponds, orchards, cemeteries, roads, canals, railroads, towns. Cities and political or administrative districts as they existed at the time of survey. They also occasionally show a limited amount of natural features such as woods, marshes and relief, and usually give the township range and section numbers in addition to property owners' names. The writer knows of no place where a complete set may be seen, but the State Librarian is engaged in completing his collection.
