Downtown, Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue
Start at Downtown, in the middle of the sheet. The old public square sits where North Main Street and South Main Street cross Park Avenue. The square isn't labeled, but all four roads are. Park Avenue West heads out to the west side. Park Avenue East runs the other way, toward East Mansfield. Now follow North Main Street north toward the top of the sheet. Piper Road and Crall Road East are printed off to its right. Back downtown, Ashland Road angles off to the northeast toward Lincoln Heights. Then take Lexington Avenue southwest through the South Boulevards. It crosses Sunset Boulevard, Clifton Boulevard and Glendale Boulevard. Turn south on Middle Bellville Road and you'll reach Hanley Village near the bottom of the sheet. Many roads are labeled, and each red shape is a building, so zoom in on the preview and look for yours.
Johnny Appleseed's night trip from the Mansfield square
Here's a story to tell when someone asks about the map. During the War of 1812, the square had two log blockhouses. One stood where Main Street meets Park Avenue West. A local shopkeeper named Levi Jones was killed. Rumors spread that an attack was coming, and the settlers needed help. An Ohio historical marker on the square says Johnny Appleseed is believed to have set out from there on the evening of August 9, 1813. He went through the night to the settlements at Clinton and Mount Vernon to get more men.
Johnny Appleseed's real name was John Chapman, and he knew Mansfield from the start. Another marker says he came in the summer of 1809, just as the first town lots went up for sale. He paid 120 dollars for lot 265. In 1818, he sold it for 100 dollars. That marker stands on South Diamond Street, just east of Main. It also remembers the Delaware people who camped in a ravine southwest of the square during the war. Soldiers had forced them from their village at Greentown and burned it.
One more name to look for is Mansfield Cemetery, printed a little south of Downtown. John Sherman is buried there. He came to Mansfield to practice law and went on to serve as a U.S. senator, Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State.
