1967 Map of Diana

About this map

The Right Fork Holly River carves a deep valley through this portion of Webster County, defining the local geography around the settlement of Diana. This landscape is characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Hodam Mountain and Cool Spring Knob, where small communities and family landmarks are concentrated along the narrow stream bottoms. A strong sense of rural community is evident through numerous small houses of worship, including Bethany Ch, Holly River Ch, and Mt Zion Ch near Orndorff. Economic activity is represented by scattered industrial marks like a Strip Mine and other Mine locations. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of family-named burial grounds like Clifton Cem and Cuttip Cem, situated near smaller drainage features like Shop Run and Ezra Run.
