2013 Map of Lucas

About this map

Lucas sits at the heart of this survey, surrounded by a landscape defined by the winding course of Rocky Fork and numerous small-scale agricultural settlements. The area shows a high density of nineteenth-century burial grounds, including the Odd Fellows Cem, Caesarea Cem, and Mt Zion Lutheran Cem, which offer significant research potential for local genealogists. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by water as Possum Run and Switzer Cr drain toward the Clear Fork Mohican River and the edges of Pleasant Hill Lake. Small communities and family farms like Shererwood Farm and Equestrian Valley Farm are scattered throughout, linked by a network of rural roads such as Mansfield Lucas Rd and Lucas Perrysville Rd. The presence of Culler Mill and Pinhook indicates the historical importance of localized industry and commerce in these rural Ohio townships.
