1915 Map of Perrysville

About this map

The Mohican River and its major tributaries, the Black Fork and Clear Fork, dictate the geography of this central Ohio landscape during the early twentieth century. A prominent historical boundary, the Treaty 1795 Line, cuts across the lower third of the region, marking the Greenville Treaty line that once separated indigenous lands from the Northwest Territory. The man-made Charles Mill Reservoir dominates the northern reaches, while the valley terrain is defined by steep hollows like Wildcat Hollow and Possum Hollow.
