About this map

The Mohawk Reservoir dominates this landscape, created by the convergence of the Mohican, Kokosing, and Walhonding rivers. This 1910s era survey, updated in the early 1940s, shows the rural infrastructure of central Ohio when small community centers like Newcastle and Walhonding anchored local life. A distinctive historical landmark, Fort Fizzle, appears in the northern reaches, while the Pennsylvania railroad line winds through the valleys, serving stops such as Brinkhaven and the combined Cavallo Sta Wintergreen PO.

Local genealogy and social history are preserved through an exceptionally high density of named schools and churches. One can trace the distribution of early education through sites like the Turkey Ridge School, Nigger Run School, and Brush College School. The religious landscape is equally detailed, featuring Monroe Church, Dennis Chapel, and Wilson Chapel, illustrating the community clusters that defined Tiverton and Monroe townships.
