1905 Map of Athens
USGS Topo · Published 1929About this map
The Hocking River winds through the heart of this early 20th-century landscape, anchoring a network of coal and industrial settlements throughout Athens County. The convergence of multiple rail lines, including the Hocking Valley RR and the Kanawha and Michigan RR, highlights the era's reliance on heavy rail for moving resources from towns like Nelsonville, Buchtel, and Glouster. Smaller community centers such as Millfield, Chauncey, and New Marshfield are clearly defined, showing the distribution of the population along the river valley and its major tributaries like Sunday Creek and Monday Creek.
