About this map

Penn Central rail lines and the winding waters of the Middle Fork Duck Creek define the corridor of the Macksburg area during the early 1960s. This survey, later updated in the 1970s, reveals a landscape shaped by both extraction and early settlement, where numerous Gas Well sites and Strip Mine operations dot the hillsides of Enoch and Stock townships. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, detailing small community centers like South Olive, Dexter City, and the village of Fulda.

Family history researchers can locate several upland burial grounds, including Harris Cem and McGinnis Cem, alongside the Macksburg Cems situated near the Washington and Noble County line. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of numerous runs, such as Otterslide Run and Goose Run, while landmarks like the Ogden Ridge Ch and the small hamlet of Crooked Tree anchor the more rural sections of the quadrangle.
