1961 Map of Beaver

About this map

The village of Beaver serves as the focal point for this landscape, where the southern Ohio hill country transitions into the valley of the Scioto River. This 1961 survey, with later revisions in the 1970s and 1990s, documents a community deeply tied to its natural resources and local faith. The map reveals numerous country churches and burial grounds, such as Linn Hill Ch, Bethel Ch, and Beaver Union Cem, which anchor the rural settlement patterns along the ridges and hollows.
