1912 Map of Perrysville

About this map

Perrysville and the surrounding townships of Hanover and Worthington define this landscape as it appeared shortly after the turn of the century. The map documents a dense network of rural one-room schoolhouses, such as Hazel Dell School, Hickory Ridge School, and Black Swamp School, which served a population still largely centered on agriculture and localized communities. The topography is shaped by the winding courses of the Mohican River and Clear Fork, which cut through the hills near the prominent Gatton Rock.
