About this map

Shiloh sits at the intersection of local history and agricultural tradition in northern Richland County, serving as a primary hub for this rural landscape. The village is anchored by the Shiloh Post Office and nearby Mount Hope Cemetery, illustrating the long-standing community structure of the region. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Black Fork Mohican River and its various tributaries like Leatherwood Creek and Bear Run, which carve through the grid of section roads.

Several smaller historic hamlets and crossroads are preserved here, including Planktown, Rome, and Ganges. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial grounds, showing the Old Salem Cemetery, Presbyterian Cemetery, and the Evangelical German Reform Cemetery. These sites, along with the Springmills Post Office, reflect the early nineteenth-century settlement patterns and the denominational roots of the families who established farms along Ganges Five Points Rd and Rome Greenwich Rd.
