DescriptionMap of Ohio, with Lake Erie to the north, the boundary of Pennsylvania to the east, the Ohio River to the south, and the border of Indiana to the west. The state is divided into counties, denoted with broken solid lines. Townships are marked with clusters of black shaded areas, presumably denoting concentrations of buildings. Rivers, swamps and prairies and lakes are labeled, and elevation is conveyed through hachure marks. In the southwestern part of the state, Brown, Clinton and Greene counties are labeled, "Limestone Region." In the southeastern part of the state, Jackson, Athens, Morgan, Muskingum and Guernsey counties are labeled, "Unbroken Sandstone Region."
