1994 Map of Bergholz

About this map

Bergholz and the surrounding townships of Washington, Fox, Lee, and Springfield define this eastern Ohio landscape during the late twentieth century. The map centers on the winding course of Yellow Creek and its many tributaries, such as Elkhorn Creek and Blazer Hollow, where the terrain transitions from agricultural uplands to deep-cut valleys. This topographic record preserves the locations of vital community centers including Harlem Springs and Mechanicstown, alongside several rural gathering points like Scroggsfield Ch and Springfield High Sch. Extensive Strip Mine operations are evident across several sections, particularly near the Jefferson and Carroll County border, illustrating the area's long-standing reliance on surface coal extraction. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, from the Bergholz Cem to the smaller Palmer Cem and the Chestnut Ridge Ch Cem.
