About this map

The Hocking River winds through the borderlands of Athens and Washington Counties, anchoring a landscape of steep ridges and creek valleys within the Wayne National Forest. In the early 1960s, the rural character of the region is defined by scattered settlements like Cutler and Decaturville, connected by winding roads and an Old Railroad Grade that hints at former industrial transit through the hills.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family-named landmarks, particularly cemeteries such as Finsterwald Cem, Beebe Cem, and Wyers Cem. Small country churches including Mount Liberty Ch and Decatur Chapel serve as focal points for these upland communities. Notable infrastructure includes the Covered Bridge crossing a tributary of the Hocking River and the Cutler Sch, providing a detailed look at the social and physical geography of this Ohio river valley before late-century changes.
