About this map

Yellow Creek flows through the southeastern corner of this landscape, anchoring the village of Bergholz, where a structured street grid including Washington St and Kennedy Ave meets the surrounding hills. The area is defined by a dense network of upland ridges and deep hollows, such as Rainy Ridge, Watson Ridge, and Blazer Hollow. This 2019 survey documents a rural landscape where small settlements like Mechanicstown and Scroggsfield remain connected by winding township roads.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Wells Jackman Cem, Snyder Cem, and McGauran Cem. The map captures the dividing line between Carroll Co and Jefferson Co, showing how the terrain dictates the layout of the local infrastructure. Water features like Kilgore Lake and the various forks of Still Fork and Pipes Fork drain the high ground, illustrating the complex hydrology of eastern Ohio's plateau country.
