2016 Map of Perrysville

About this map

Perrysville stands as a central hub in Green Township, situated along the Black Fork Mohican River where the valley floor widens south of Widowville. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, many of which carry family names like Shambaugh Cem, McFall Cem, and Peterson Cem, suggesting a long-established rural community with deep roots in both Ashland and Richland counties. The western edge is heavily marked by the Black Fork Mohican River and its tributaries, including Rocky Fork and Honey Cr, which flow through the agricultural hills. To the south and northwest, the presence of Pleasant Hill Lake and Charles Mill Lake indicates a territory significantly shaped by mid-century water management and recreation. Historic settlement patterns remain visible through established crossroads like Coulter and institutional landmarks such as Old Presbyterian Cem and Saint John Cem.
