About this map

Loudonville and the winding course of the Clear Fork Mohican River anchor this 2016 survey of the borderlands between Ashland, Knox, and Richland counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp convergence of river valleys and upland ridges, notably where the Black Fork Mohican River joins the Clear Fork. This terrain dictated early settlement patterns, concentrating community life around crossroad hamlets like Jelloway and Nunda.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural cemeteries and denominational landmarks, such as the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Cem and the North Bend Church of the Brethren Cem. The presence of the Mohican State Park MTB Trail reflects the modern transition of this area into a recreation destination, while geographic features like Little Lyons Falls and Big Lyons Falls highlight the natural geology that has remained unchanged as the surrounding farmsteads and township roads evolved.
