1961 Map of Greer

About this map

Mohican River waters dominate this 1961 record of the rugged borderlands between Ashland, Holmes, and Knox Counties. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the Black Fork Mohican River and Lake Fork, a network that shaped early commerce and settlement patterns in the region. The map reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including Stout Cem and Harding Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogical research. Significant historical boundaries are clearly marked, most notably the Greenville Treaty Line, which cuts across the central terrain. While small hamlets like Spellacy and Greer persist along the riverbanks, the presence of Peaceful Valley Camp and Camp Bethany suggests a mid-century shift toward recreational land use in these river valleys.
