1952 Map of Berea

Outside the central town, the landscape is dotted with rural institutions that served a dispersed agricultural population, such as Wallaceton and the Scaffold Cane School. The terrain becomes significantly more complex to the south and east, rising toward Bear Mountain and the headwaters of Silver Creek. Geologists and historians can trace the intricate network of family-named landmarks, including the Todd Cem, Ogg Cem, and Johnson Cem, which provide a detailed record of the families who settled these ridges and valleys.
