Photos or maps ohio
Do you know of any good PD sources for photos or maps in Ohio? Warren County Canal is in need (up for FAC). thanks. Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 20:01, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. This is a copy: Dear User:PedanticallySpeaking: Please look at my talk page (most recent item for User:SPUI). I had asked him to see what we could do about a map (or images) for the article. He has done some outstanding map creation work for other transportation article and also found image sources when I couldn't. However, if you can give him good information, maybe even a handdrawn map if possible, he may be able to create something nice for the article. I encourage you to communicate directly with User: SPUI I am having some computer broadband problems, so can't be on as much as usual. I will copy this message to both of you. And, my thanks to both of you for the good work on transportation articles, which are dear to my heart. <gr> Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 20:23, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
Salve, SPUI!
Vaoverland suggested I get in touch with you re the Warren County Canal article about possibly creating a map. The route of the canal is spelled out in the article. Basically, it started at Middletown, Ohio, went southeast for about fifteen miles to about four miles southwest of Lebanon, Ohio, then turned northeast to Lebanon. It roughly ran along the route of the Middletown and Cincinnati Railroad to Hageman's Crossing, Ohio, then followed the Cincinnati, Lebanon, and Northern Railroad into Lebanon. The only map I've seen in Elva Adams's book (cited in the canal article) depicts a lazily drawn "U" shape. I did see a map in another book yesterday that says it ran through Sect. 28 in western Turtlecreek Township, Warren County, Ohio, which is bounded by State Route 741 on the east and Hamilton Road on the south. The co-ordinates for the termini are in their articles already. The railroads routes can be seen by looking at the Warren County property records . The Indiana and Ohio Railroad and the City of Lebanon now own the railroad routes. If you will search for parcel 12145020010, owned by the City and running between Hageman's and Lebanon you will find a map come up. Click on that map for a larger version. The railroad is easily picked out from the parcel map because it is a long and narrow parcel. Let me know if I can help further. PedanticallySpeaking 14:36, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
SPUI,
Thanks for your reply. Up there between Monroe and Middletown I recall one of the references, I believe the Bogan "Warren County Canal" piece, said the canal went north along Cincinnati-Dayton between Greentree and State Route 122. Of course, at this scale, I don't think anyone would be able to tell the difference if you weren't precise. PedanticallySpeaking 17:50, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
SPUI,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the map of the canal. Wonderful that you should find this.
Could I trouble you for more maps? I've been working on the articles for townships (see my new Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Ohio townships), but lack maps for many of them. I wonder if you could zoom in on the counties of Butler, Warren, Clinton, and Hamilton and save them as individual files for me. They show the townships clearly and I'd like to add them to the township articles.
And though I said it before, thank you. PedanticallySpeaking 14:16, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
SPUI,
I should have looked a bit closer on that map. I see that two of the Warren townships are missing; they hadn't been created yet (Massie and Harlan). Oh, well, scratch my request. PedanticallySpeaking 14:19, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
SPUI,
Thanks for the tip. Alas, I work at the public library, so I don't have the ability to down- and up-load or manipulate pictures. PedanticallySpeaking 16:11, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
