About this map

Loudonville anchors the southwest corner of this landscape where the Mohican River and Pennsylvania railroad line intersect. The terrain is defined by the valley of the Lake Fork river, which is managed by the Mohicanville Dam in the north. This 1961 survey, updated with 1976 revisions, reveals a rural economy heavily reliant on natural resources, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and Gravel Pits scattered across townships like Washington and Vermillion.

Smaller settlements and cultural landmarks provide depth for local historians, including the communities of Mohicanville, McZena, and Lakeville. Researchers can trace old property boundaries and local lineages through sites such as County Line Cem and Pioneer Cem. The presence of a Gaging Station and various pipelines underscores the region's role in mid-century utility and water management infrastructure.
