Can someone tell me which road would have been called 'the Olivesburg Road north of Mansfield" in the early 1900s? Is there a good map, a really detailed map, of Richland County available? Historical maps available? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

The Olivesburg Road in 1896 is now State Hiway 545. What are you after? I have a copy of the 1896 cadastral atlas, which contains a reasonably detailed county map as well as really detailed landownership maps for each township. At that time, Mary Haverfield owned land on the Olivesburg Rd in Section 24 of Weller Twp.(just about where the Hobby Horse Farm B&B is now located), and Joseph Haverfield, Andrew, George & Jonathan Ferguson lived nearby. There were also other Fergusons, an M.A. Kistler, an E. Kestler, an H.A. Kester and some Coles, but not on or near the Olivesburg Road. Photos in the atlas include Mr & Mrs James Ferguson, Samuel Ferguson, Mrs. Margaret C. Ferguson, all of Washington Twp.; J. Currie, prop. of Boston Store, Shelby; and Henry Cole, Councilman, 6th Ward, Mansfield ----- Original Message ----- From: Kristi Jalics To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 4:43 PM Subject: [OHRICHLA] road question Can someone tell me which road would have been called 'the Olivesburg Road north of Mansfield" in the early 1900s?
