1943 Map of Millersburg
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Millersburg serves as a central hub in this mid-century portrait of Holmes and Wayne Counties, situated where the Pennsylvania RR follows the broad valley of Killbuck Creek. The landscape transition from the flatter northern sections around Shreve and Moorland into the more broken topography of the south is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions. Significant elevations like Sterrett Knob and Munser Knob rise above the surrounding farmland, while the presence of Oil Wells southwest of Holmesville indicates the era's localized industrial activity. A dense network of one-room schools, including Hazeldell Sch and Webster Hall Sch, reveals the dispersed settlement pattern of these traditional agricultural communities before rural school consolidation was fully realized.
