Talk:Fayette Township, Lawrence County, Ohio

Lawrence County and Townships map
i.e. North-South meridian is NOT vertical (Township boundaries are usually surveyed to be due North-South)
 * Why does the Lawrence County Townships map in the Infobox (appear) "skewed"?

i.e. looking for a "cookbook recipe" on how to recreate it.
 * Where did Image:Map_of_Lawrence_County_Ohio_With_Municipal_and_Township_Labels.PNG in the Infobox originate from?


 * Did they come from?
 * Counties and Townships map and
 * Counties map
 * from: MISCELLANEOUS MAPS, Geological Survey, Ohio Department of Natural Resources


 * If so, the issue was/is that the originals (in the PDFs) used map projections which skewed North-South.

then it is possible to re-use the maps with Wiki "Location map" templates and NAD 83 coordinates (from Google, GPS, etc.) to plot locations on them.
 * If County-Townships map Images can be aligned so that the North-South meridian is vertical,
 * In theory, the data used to produce the maps can be downloaded from some Ohio GIS system,
 * and the maps can be redrawn from the data so downloaded with the appropriate map projection.

 * Look at the image description: it came from a Census Bureau map of the entire state. Ohio's land was surveyed many different ways, and the township borders aren't always east-west or north-south: look at this map of Logan County.  Nyttend (talk) 22:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
