1961 Map of Brinkhaven

About this map

The Mohican River carves a deep path through the rugged hills of central Ohio, marking the border between Knox, Holmes, and Coshocton counties. This 1961 survey captures an active extractive landscape, where an extensive oil field and numerous gas wells punctuate the ridges of Jefferson and Richland townships. The settlement of Brinkhaven serves as a focal point near the river's bend, while the remnants of the Old Railroad Grade and Pennsylvania line trace the historical transport routes that once defined the valley. In the southern reach, the Kokosing River joins the landscape near Zuck, revealing a region transitioning from its industrial peak to recreational use, evidenced by the Mohican River Fishing Area. Small hilltop communities like Tiverton Center and Oak Hill remain anchored by local landmarks such as Riley Chapel and Tiverton Ch.
