About this map

Shauck (Johnsville) serves as the northern anchor for this rural Ohio landscape, where the headwaters of the Kokosing River and its North Branch begin to carve through the terrain of Congress and Perry townships. The map documents a classic Midwestern agricultural pattern, defined by small hamlets like North Woodbury, Williamsport, and Pulaskiville that are linked by a dense grid of township roads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered country churches and schools that served these farming communities in the early 1960s, including Pleasant Grove Ch, St Johns Ch, and the Houseberg school site. The southern reaches of the quadrangle follow Sylvester Run through Franklin and Harmony townships, crossing the historic Treaty Line Road. This area remains largely dominated by the natural drainage of the river forks, showing a snapshot of Morrow and Knox County history before modern development shifted the character of these small crossroads.
