About this map

Killbuck Creek dominates this landscape on the border of Holmes and Coshocton Counties, its winding course accompanied by a concentration of energy extraction and early rural infrastructure. Numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells are scattered across the hillsides, illustrating the importance of the regional oil fields during the mid-20th century. The settlement at Killbuck serves as a local hub, featuring a Gaging Station and Sewage Disposal plant along the water.

Further south, the villages of Blissfield, Layland, and Helmick anchor the valley, connected by a Railroad Grade that follows the creek’s path. Local history is preserved in sites like the Salem Cem and Pleasant Grove Ch, while a Covered Bridge near Helmick points to an earlier era of transportation. The presence of a Strip Mine and various Quarry sites reflects a diversified extractive economy operating alongside traditional agriculture.
