1960 Map of Graysville

About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates much of this Monroe County landscape, which is deeply carved by the Little Muskingum River and its numerous tributaries. The map documents a rural community defined by high ridges and narrow hollows, where family names are etched into the terrain at Conner Ridge Cem, Dougherty Cem, and McVay Cem. A notable archaeological site is preserved at Lamping Cem (Indian Mound) near Marr, while the local heritage of transportation is represented by a Covered Bridge in Sycamore Valley. Numerous oil and gas wells are scattered across the hillsides, illustrating the persistent extraction economy of the region. Social and spiritual life centers on small landmarks such as Pleasant Ridge Ch, Hines Chapel, and the Grange Hall near the southern boundary.
