Mexico, Ohio

Tymochtee is one of the choicest townships in the county, and is admirably adapted for the labors of the agriculturist and stock-raiser. It is truly a land of plenty, fertile in soil, well watered, with good roads and in near proximity to railways a few miles in every direction. The Sandusky River meanders gently across this township in a generally northern course, when, after traversing nearly the whole township, it turns sharply to the east and waters all the north end of the township. In addition to this river which, like the old Nile in Egypt, is the chief factor in fertilizing the land, there comes from the west across Sections 18 and 17, the historic Tymochtee Creek debouching into the Sandusky about the center of the east side of the latter section. Taylor Run drains all the eastern side of the township with its long and numerous branches. Sycamore Creek crosses the northeast corner of Tychmotee from the township of Sycamore, entering the Sandusky near Mexico. Beside this, numei'oas rivulets babble through the township in every direction, making it a land of streams.

Good substantial roads traverse the township in every direction, one of the chief of these is on the west side of the Sandusky, crossing the northern county boundary at McCutchenville; there it meets with a road from the southeast, crossing Belle Vernon. Another leading road enters Section 34 from the south, and passing north for about a mile and a half, it meets a road from the west crossing the Sandusky, when they turn abruptly to the northeast, crossing the township toward Mexico. The only railroad in the township, is the Ohio Central, which crosses the northeast corner, coming out near McCutchenville.
