About this map

The borderlands of Fairfield, Pickaway, and Hocking Counties reveal a landscape defined by the drainage of Salt Creek and the winding course of Clear Creek. This 1961 survey, based on 1960 aerial photography, captures the rural character of Madison and Perry townships before significant modern development. The region is dotted with numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Drinkle Cem and Augustus Cem, reflecting generations of settlement along the local ridges and hollows.

Concentrations of social life are centered around crossroads like Clearport and Revenge, the latter situated near the scenic waters of Lake Romona. Significant topographical features like Emmanuel Knob rise above the stream valleys, while local industry is represented by a Quarry and scattered energy infrastructure including a Pipeline and Gas Well. The survey also marks established religious and youth sites, from Hopewell Ch in the north to Camp Indianola in the east.
