2010 Map of Danville

About this map

Danville and its neighbor Buckeye City anchor the northeastern portion of this Knox County landscape, where the traditional grid of the town center meets the winding valley of Jelloway Creek. This terrain is deeply marked by its watercourses, from the wide wetlands of the Kokosing River near Millwood to the man-made expanse of Apple Valley Lake. Local history and genealogy are preserved in a remarkably high density of family-named cemeteries and rural burial grounds, including the Branstool-Critchfield-Shrimplin Cemetery near Howard and the Saint Lukes Cemetery closer to town. The map documents a mix of 19th-century settlement patterns at Monroe Mills alongside the 20th-century recreational development of the Apple Valley Golf Course, illustrating the evolving use of the land from early milling and agriculture to modern residential communities.
