About this map

Lime Kiln Hollow and Temperance Hollow define the northern drainages of this Hocking County landscape, where the rural character is anchored by numerous family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds. The settlement pattern is dominated by small communities like Gore, Maxville, and Greendale, which are linked by a network of local roads such as the Maysville Greendale Rd. Near the center of the sheet, the Central Ohio Council BSA Pond provides a significant water feature amidst the complex topography of Little Monday Creek and its many tributaries.

Legacy industrial sites like Bessie Furnace and the Boyle Tipple suggest the area's history of extraction and iron production, while the Monday Creek Junction serves as a reminder of the rail-dependent economy that once thrived here. Genealogists will find exceptional detail in the local cemeteries, including the Rhodes and Huddle Cemetery, Payne Cemetery, and Ebenezer Baptist Cemetery, reflecting the deep roots of the local community.
