About this map

The Beaver community serves as the central hub of this 1961 topographical survey, situated at the intersection of a prominent rail corridor and local highways. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Wayne National Forest and the conservation boundaries of the Liberty Wildlife Area. Local life in the early 1960s centered on a network of country churches and family burial grounds, including Philadelphia Ch and Barton Cem.

Industry is visible through numerous Strip Mine and Claypit operations, particularly near the Scioto River and Jackson Lake. The Detroit Toledo and Ironton Road provides the primary industrial artery through the valley, passing by the Beaver Union Cem and the settlement at Glade. The terrain's many hollows, such as Buck Hollow and Dutch Hollow Creek, reflect the complex drainage of the Pike Co and Jackson Co borderlands.
