1962 Map of Kiahsville

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Twelvepole Creek winds through the heart of the Wayne County hills, anchoring a landscape defined by the extraction of natural gas and coal in the early 1960s. Numerous Gas Wells and Mines dot the hollows, connected by a network of narrow roads and pipelines. The settlement of Kiahsville serves as a central point for the surrounding rural community, which is marked by family-named landmarks like McComas Mtn and Crackersneck Ridge. Genealogical value is high throughout the quadrangle, with numerous small burial grounds such as Wallace Cem and Jarett Maynard Cem tucked into the hillsides. The southern portion of the map transitions into the protected timberlands of Cabwaylingo State Forest, while local life centers around country schools and churches like Beech Grove Ch and the Lick Creek Sch.
