1962 Map of Berlin

About this map

The Greenville Treaty Line cuts across this 1962 landscape, marking a historic boundary between the Congress Lands to the north and the United States Military District to the south. This area of Holmes County is defined by its small, clustered settlements like Berlin and Mt Hope, which serve as hubs for the surrounding agricultural community. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks, including one-room schoolhouses like North Bunker Hill Sch and Wise Sch, alongside significant local institutions such as Hiland High Sch. Deep hollows like Troyer Hol and waterways such as Doughty Creek and Walnut Creek shape the terrain, while the presence of scattered strip mines and gas wells indicates the extraction industries operating alongside the traditional farmsteads. From the rural crossroads of Millers Corners to the village of Charm, the sheet preserves the mid-century layout of this distinctive cultural landscape.
