About this map

The Mohican River and the Black Fork Mohican River converge in this pocket of the Ohio countryside, where the boundaries of Ashland, Holmes, and Knox counties meet. The landscape is defined by the prominent Kaylor Ridge and the historic Greenville Treaty Line, which cuts across the central terrain. Small settlements and rural hubs like Greer, Sigafoos, and Spellacy serve as focal points for local history researchers, while the Pennsylvania rail line tracks the river valley's natural contours.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites, including Stout Cem, Kaylor Ridge Cem, and Harding Cem, scattered across the townships of Jefferson and Richland. The map also captures mid-century recreational landmarks such as Camp Bethany, Peaceful Valley Camp, and the Camp Mohaven Landing Strip, reflecting the area's development as a destination for outdoor activity alongside its traditional agricultural and industrial roots.
