About this map

Fredericktown serves as the primary hub of this Knox County landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor cuts a path southeast toward the outskirts of South Mt Vernon. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Kokosing River and its various tributaries, including Mile Run and Granny Creek. Of significant historical interest are the ancient earthworks, specifically Braddock Mound and Rowley Mound, located just east of the main settlement.

Rural life in the mid-20th century is documented through several communal and religious sites such as the Green Valley Grange Hall, Friendship Ch, and Liberty Chapel Cem. Small rural clusters like Dorema and Dalrymple Corners illustrate the dispersed settlement pattern typical of Ohio's agricultural townships. To the northeast, the Knox Lake reservoir and the adjacent State Conservation Area highlight the region's managed water resources and recreational spaces during this era of survey.
