1961 Map of Gore

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Wayne National Forest covers much of this landscape in southeastern Ohio, where the hills are marked by a history of resource extraction and rural community life. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad threads through the valleys, connecting settlements like Gore, Greendale, and Maxville. The map captures a moment when the coal industry left visible marks on the land, indicated by several strip mines scattered near Sand Run Junction and north of Old Gore. Local heritage is anchored by dispersed country churches and family-linked burial sites, including Webb Chapel Cem, Rhodes and Huddle Cem, and Dawley Cem. Waterways such as Monday Creek and Salt Lick Creek dictate the local geography, while smaller landmarks like the Lookout Tower and Owens Landing Field provide points of orientation within the wooded terrain.
