1992 Map of Laurelville

About this map

Salt Creek defines the local topography of this 1990s-era map, carving a winding path through the intersection of Hocking, Pickaway, Ross, and Vinton Counties. The village of Laurelville sits near the confluence of Laurel Run and Salt Creek, serving as a primary settlement alongside neighboring Adelphi. The landscape is notably dominated by the wooded ridges of Hocking State Forest and the southern reaches of Tar Hollow State Park, where Pine Lake and its gaging station are located. Genealogists and local historians will find numerous family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as Friend Cem, Haynes Cem, and Schooley Cem, often associated with country churches like the Salt Creek Valley Ch. Cultural history is further represented by an Indian Mound located south of the California Branch, suggesting long-standing human occupation in this creek-veined valley system.
