About this map

The Muscatatuck River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape where the borders of Gibson and Vernon meet. This terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows carved into the uplands, including Rutherford Hollow, Bane Hollow, and Shantaky Hollow. These ridges and valleys are largely preserved within the Jackson-Washington State Forest and the Clark State Forest, which frame the central agricultural and residential corridor.

Settlement patterns center on small rural crossroads like Little York and the curiously named Pumpkin Center. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of numerous family and community landmarks, such as the Hamilton Cem near New Philadelphia, the New Hope Cem, and several hilltop houses of worship like Mt Hebron Ch. The southern portion of the sheet highlights the conservation efforts at the Elk Creek Fish and Game Area, nestled between the steep slopes and Elk Creek.
