1961 Map of Holmesville

About this map

Killbuck Creek dominates the lowlands of this 1961 survey, carving a broad path through the borderlands of Wayne Co and Holmes Co. The valley's drainage is managed through an extensive network of ditches and a Fish Hatchery near the northern boundary, while higher ground to the east features the distinctive peaks of Munson Knob and Sterrett Knob. The landscape is a patchwork of small agricultural settlements and rural industry, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and Gravel Pits scattered across the townships of Franklin and Prairie.
