1967 Map of Shawnee Hills

About this map

O'Shaughnessy Reservoir dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its waters held back by the O'Shaughnessy Dam. The surrounding countryside in the late 1960s was a patchwork of established farming communities and family-named homesteads across Jerome and Mill Creek townships. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several small burial grounds, including the Oller Cem near the Scioto River and Watkins Cem located just south of the settlement of Watkins.
