About this map

Rocky Fork State Park and the waters of Rocky Fork Lake dominate this portion of Highland County, anchoring a landscape where recreational development meets traditional agricultural roots. The map documents the lakeside communities of Highland Holiday, Rocky Fork Point, and South Beach, contrasting these newer settlements with established village centers like Marshall and Rainsboro. The area is notably defined by its many early burial grounds, including the Hicksite Quaker Cem and Friends Cem, which serve as critical markers for genealogical research in this part of Ohio.

A legacy of early industry is visible in the placement of historical milling sites such as Beaver Mill, McCoppin Mill, and Barretts Mills, clustered along the local waterways. The terrain rises to distinct heights at Irons Mtn and Brushy Knob, overlooking the agricultural tracts of Mustard Farms and Thunder Valley Ranch. This 2013 survey provides a clear look at the intersection of public land management and rural life, from the shores of Paint Cr Lake to the scattered crossroads of Carmel and Coon Crossing.
