About this map

Bergholz and the surrounding borderlands of Carroll and Jefferson Counties are defined by a network of steep ridges and narrow stream valleys. The settlement pattern is anchored by small communities like Mechanicstown and Scroggsfield, connected by a winding system of rural roads that follow the natural topography. High points such as Watson Ridge and Rainy Ridge overlook a landscape carved by the Upper North Fork and Still Fork.

For genealogists and local historians, the area is rich with family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Corinth Mechanicstown Cem and Wells Jackman Cem. The southern reach of the map features Kilgore Lake and the prominent Tunnel Hill, while the village of Bergholz sits at the confluence where Yellow Creek and Carroll Run meet. This 2016 survey captures the enduring rural character of these Ohio townships, where land use is dictated by the deeply incised terrain of the Allegheny Plateau.
