About this map

Rocky Fork winds through this Richland County landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements and family burial grounds in the hills south of Mansfield. The village of Lucas serves as a central hub, home to the Lucas Post Office and situated near the historic Culler Mill site along the water. The map documents a rural transition where agricultural operations like the D And D Orchard Farm share space with established communities such as Little Washington, Hastings, and Newville.

Genealogists will find a high density of documented interment sites, ranging from the fraternal Odd Fellows Cemetery to denomination-specific grounds like the Mount Zion Lutheran Cemetery and Mount Olive Cemetery. Topographical details highlight the valley drainage systems of Switzer Creek and Possum Run, while recreational and social landmarks like Hidden Hollow Camp and the West Shore Cottage Area indicate the area's role as a retreat for the surrounding region.
