1961 Map of Greer

About this map

The Greenville Treaty Line cuts across this landscape, marking a significant historical boundary that separates the townships of Jefferson and Knox. The Mohican River and its tributary, the Black Fork Mohican River, define the local topography, winding through a region dotted with small family settlements and religious retreats. Small communities like Greer and Spellacy serve as focal points for local history, while several burial grounds, including Ullman Cem and Harding Cem, offer valuable data for genealogists tracing early residents. The southern portion of the map is noted as being subject to controlled inundation by Mohawk Dam. Industrial footprints are visible at the Gravel Pit near the river, and the Pennsylvania railroad line provides a glimpse into the mid-century transportation network that connected these rural townships.
