About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates the central landscape of this Scioto County region, where the steep terrain is carved by dozens of hollows like Brigner Hollow and Koger Hollow. The settlement of Lucasville sits at the southwestern edge along the Norfolk and Western railway, serving as a hub for nearby residential areas such as Preston Addition and Tomlinson Addition. This early 1960s snapshot shows a landscape defined by small rural institutions, including the Valley Local High Sch and numerous country churches like Victory Chapel and Pine Grove Ch.

Industrial and government footprints are evident, most notably the U S Reservation Atomic Energy Commission land in the northwest corner. Resource extraction is scattered throughout the valleys, marked by various Claypits and a Gravel Pit. The map also captures several family-named cemeteries, such as Slavens Cem and Bennett Cem, providing a detailed look at the local genealogy of the Scioto, Union, and Jefferson townships.
