Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

From Brian S. Miller:

"I have added some new features to the Engineer’s Cemetery Map.":

 

  1. In the upper right-hand corner of the screen, you will now see a GPS coordinates tool that reads the GPS coordinates on the fly as you move your mouse. You can also capture GPS coordinates of any location on the map by clicking the cursor icon button on the left side of the GPS tool, select the location on the map and your desired coordinates are saved to the GPS tool window. Once captured, you can then click the copy to clipboard button on the right side of the GPS tool. Now you can paste those coordinates to any desired application you need it for.
  2. In the row of tools at the bottom, I have added the Share Tool icon, which allows you to copy and share a link to anyone of the map at the location you are zoomed into.
  3. In the lower right-hand corner of the screen, I have added the Measurement tool, which can come in quite handy if you need to measure something on the map. It will measure in many different units. Measuring distances is in feet by default. Measuring an area is in square feet by default.

 

"These 3 new features can be quite handy in certain circumstances."
