About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Virginia Military District unfolds across this 1960 survey, centered on the village of Good Hope. The terrain is defined by the transition from the flatlands in the north to the increasingly dissected hills of Ragged Ridge in the southeast. A dense network of rural roads, such as Good Hope Road and Eyeman Road, connects small settlements like McLean and Fairview with various family-named cemeteries including Eyeman Bryant Cem and Waugh Cem.

Transportation infrastructure plays a key role in the local geography, with the Baltimore and Ohio and Detroit Toledo and Ironton railroads cutting through the region. This period shows the persistence of rural institutions, such as the Township Sch and Pisgah Ch, alongside mid-century developments like the Landing Field near Buckskin Creek. These features illustrate a classic Ohio farming community at a time when traditional landmarks and early aviation sites coexisted.
