1961 Map of Pedro

About this map

Industrial remnants define this landscape near Pedro, where numerous old iron furnaces and clay operations once drove the local economy. The terrain is marked by the presence of historical industry, including the Howard Furnace, Buckhorn Furnace, and Lawrence Furnace, highlighting the importance of the charcoal iron industry in this corner of the Wayne National Forest. Transportation networks like the Toledo and Detroit Railroad and the Ironton and Toledo Railroad weave through the hollows, connecting settlements such as Superior and Lisman to the wider region. Family history and local genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds and schools, including the Township Sch Cem, Rogers Cem, and Pine Creek Sch. Topographical details also show specialized industrial infrastructure like a Conveyor and several claypits and strip mines that appear as purple-tinted revisions to the earlier 1961 field data.
