About this map

Berlin and its neighboring Holmes County hamlets are meticulously documented in this detailed study of the Ohio countryside. The landscape is defined by its deep genealogical density, marked by dozens of small family burial grounds such as the Noah Beachy Farm Cem and Ezra Y Miller Farm Cem, reflecting the area's ancestral ties and traditional land-use patterns. These private plots are scattered across the terrain between larger settlements like Charm, Benton, and Mount Hope.

Water features such as Doughty Cr and Middle Fork Sugar Cr weave through the township, providing drainage for the agricultural valleys. The map traces a complex network of local routes, including Co HWY 625 and TWP HWY 156, which connect isolated hollows like Troyer Hollow to centers of commerce. For the local historian, the sheer number of named farm cemeteries and landmarks like Bunker Hill offers an unparalleled look at the rural social geography of this region.
