About this map

The Hocking River winds through this early 1960s landscape, serving as the primary geographic corridor for the city of Logan and the neighboring settlements of Enterprise, West Logan, and South Logan. The region's industrial character is defined by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line following the river valley, flanked by numerous oil wells and active extraction sites including a strip mine and several kilns. The map reveals a deeply etched terrain of ridges like Calico Ridge and hills such as Schultz Hill, punctuated by a dense network of local landmarks.

Local history is preserved through numerous rural institutions, from the Marion Sch to country congregations at Mt Tabor Ch and Pleasant Valley Ch. Significant cemetery sites like Oak Grove Cemetery and the Union Ch Cem provide essential data for genealogical research. The presence of Hocking County Lake and Echo Hill Camp indicates the area's integration of industry and recreation during this period.
