1972 Map of Kitts Hill

About this map

Wayne National Forest and the Vesuvius Recreation Area dominate the northern landscape of this Lawrence County quadrangle. Centered on Kitts Hill, the map reveals a rugged topography defined by the narrow valleys of Storms Creek and Little Ice Creek, where small settlements and family farms once clustered. The inclusion of several rural churches, such as Oakland Chapel and Triedstone Ch, alongside numerous family burial grounds like Fradd Cem and Maddy Cem, provides a detailed record of the community structure during the early 1970s. Industrial activity is subtly present through scattered Mines and a Quarry, while the southern border captures the educational hub at Dawson-Bryant Sch near Deering. The network of pipelines and a telephone line crossing Lodge Ridge indicates the region's role in local utility infrastructure during this era.
