About this map

The Loudonville village center anchors this 1961 survey, situated at the confluence of the Black Fork Mohican River and Big Run. The map illustrates a diverse landscape where the rolling hills of north-central Ohio meet the industrialized corridors of the Pennsylvania railroad. Significant infrastructure for water management is evident at the Mohicanville Dam on the Lake Fork Mohican River, which regulates the flow through the Lake and Mohican townships.

Rural life is meticulously documented through several community hubs and burial grounds, including the Plum Run Cem near Plum Run and the St Peters Cem on the outskirts of the main settlement. Further north, smaller hamlets like Mohicanville, McZena, and Lakeville are shown in their mid-century state, often situated near natural features such as Round Lake and Bonnett Lake. The presence of numerous oil and gas wells scattered across the terrain highlights the local extraction economy of the early 1960s.
