About this map

Mohican River carving through the heart of this landscape defines the rugged topography at the intersection of Knox, Holmes, and Coshocton Counties. In the early 1960s, the village of Brinkhaven (Gann) served as a local hub, situated near an extensive Oil Field and a prominent Gravel Pit. The influence of conservation efforts is evident in the sprawling Mohican River Wildlife Area and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, protecting the river valley's natural character.

Transport history is etched into the terrain via the Old Railroad Grade that follows the river's bend, while the uplands of Tiverton and Jefferson townships are dotted with family-history landmarks. Notable sites for researchers include the Borden Cem, Tiverton Ch, and the small settlement at Tiverton Center. To the south, the Kokosing River joins the Mohican near Zuck, anchoring a network of rural roads and isolated farmsteads.
