Maplendor By the President Timothy Pickering THE "DIVIDE." The Water-Shed of Richland County, Ohio. BY A. J. BAUGHMAN. The far-famed barn, from the eaves of which the rain-falls flow from one side into Lake Erie and from the other to the Ohio river is situate near "Five Corners" in Springfield township, seven miles west of Mansfield, Richland County, on the West Fourth street, or Leesville road. That this barn is not a myth but an actual reality can be verified by a visit to the locality. The farm upon which the building stands is owned by C. Craig, a cousin of Dr. J. H. Craig, of Mansfield. While this barn is not on the highest point of land in the state, it is upon the actual "divide," and has an elevation of 832 feet above the lake, 965 feet above the Ohio river, and 1,265 feet above the sea. A mile east of the Craig barn is the Ralston knob, which reaches a higher elevation, but is not a "divide," for the surface waters from its several sides all find their way into the Mohican. Contrary to the general opinion, the roof of this barn does not face north and south, but to the east and west, being situate upon a spur extending a short distance to the north from the dividing ridge proper, which traverses Ohio from the northeast to the southwest. From the east line of Ohio in Ashtabula county, the crest of the water-shed extends in a tortuous course through Trumbull, Geauga, Portage, Summit, Medina, Wayne, Ashland, Richland, Crawford, Marion and Hardin counties and from the latter it throws off a lofty spur into Logan county, but the main line continues from Hardin southwest between Auglaize and Shelby, through the corner of Mercer and the northern part of Darke to the Indiana line, at elevations ranging from 400 to 900 feet. The gravel knobs like the one at Ralston's, are frequently found along the divide, and are interesting subjects in the study of surface geology. The fountain-heads of the Sandusky and the Mohican rivers are only a half mile apart. The former has its source in the Palmer spring and the latter from a pond or little lake near the southeast corner of the cross-roads known as "Five Corners," one and a half miles north of Ontario. And about midway be SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, RICHLAND COUNTY, O. tween these two river sources is the Craig barn, where the surface waters separate. The pond mentioned has two outlets; from its east end flows the Black Fork, and from the west the Clear Fork of the Mohican. After running a quarter of a mile in an easterly direction, the little stream, which later becomes so dark as to be yclept "Black Fork," turns boldly to the north through a gap, and for |
