1961 Map of Jelloway

About this map

The Greenville Treaty Line cuts across this landscape, marking a significant historical boundary through the heart of north-central Ohio. This 1961 survey depicts the rural transitions of Knox County and Ashland County, where the dense timber of Mohican State Forest and Memorial State Forest gives way to upland farming. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Clear Fork Mohican River and the northern reaches of Jelloway Creek. Small, dispersed settlements like Jelloway and College Hill anchor the local geography, alongside numerous country churches including Salem Ch and Zion Ch. The abundance of gas wells across the hillsides suggests the energy production that underpinned the local economy, while landmarks like a Lookout Tower and a rural Landing Strip reflect mid-century infrastructure in a remote, rolling environment.
