1960 Map of Cottageville

About this map

Mill Creek winds through the hills of Jackson and Mason Counties, serving as the central drainage for a landscape defined by small agrarian communities and family cemeteries in the 1960s. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor follows the creek valley, connecting Cottageville and Evans to the broader regional economy. This survey captures a moment of transition, with established landmarks like the Silver Valley Sch and Otterbein Ch standing alongside newer developments like Evergreen Hills.
