About this map

The rolling hills of Richland County unfold across this detailed survey, anchored by the village of Lucas and the southeastern edge of Mansfield. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Rocky Fork, which passes the site of Culler Mill as it flows toward the Ashland County line. This area preserves a dense concentration of historical burial grounds, including the Mount Zion Lutheran Cem and the Odd Fellows Cem, which serve as vital markers of the region's 19th-century settlement patterns.

Tracing the rural routes between Little Washington and the crossroads at Pinhook, one can see the complex drainage network of Switzer Cr and Possum Run. The southern portion of the map highlights the proximity to the Clear Fork Mohican River and Pleasant Hill Lake, revealing how the topography transitions from upland farms to the water-managed valleys of the Mohican watershed. Small hamlets like Hastings and Newville illustrate the dispersed nature of these agricultural communities.
