Seeing township lines on the Ross County map
On the Ohio Statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, the parcel record for a parcel near Bainbridge typically lists the township, and many viewers draw township lines as a layer. Copy the section-township-range from the Ross County parcel record to match it with a deed or an older atlas.
Reading sections near Adelphi
Near Adelphi, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Calls like 'NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4' near Adelphi make sense in reverse: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the county grid. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Bainbridge may not be exactly 640 acres.
Old names and overlapping districts in Ross County
If a county deed near Alma cites a township that no longer appears on the map, the county recorder can typically explain the change. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Ross County don't always follow township lines near Clarksburg, so check each one separately.
