About this map

Lake Canadohta serves as the focal point for this landscape in the late 1960s, surrounded by a cluster of summer homes and local landmarks like the Canadohta Ski Slope and the Lady of Fatima Chapel. The map reveals a rural economy shaped by natural resources and small crossroads settlements such as Riceville, Lincolnville, and Tillotson. Several cemeteries, including the Bloomfield Burying Ground and Shreve Ridge Cem, provide critical data points for genealogists tracing early families in Bloomfield and Athens townships.

Industrial and agricultural history is visible through scattered Gravel Pit operations and the Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the western terrain. The transition of the land is further evidenced by substantial public holdings like State Game Lands No 202, while local recreation is noted at the Union City Country Club. Numerous waterways, from Oil Creek to Shreve Run, define the drainage patterns that once supported local mills and early settlement sites.
