About this map

The village of Shiloh serves as a central hub on this 1960s survey, marking a significant intersection of the New York Central railroad and a grid of local roads. The landscape transition is evident where the northern agriculture of Ripley and Greenwich townships gives way to the winding course of the Black Fork Mohican River. Several small settlements, including Planktown, Ganges, and Rome, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the area's rural development patterns.

Water management and local history are prominent throughout the sheet. The southeastern corner is dominated by the Charles Mill Reservoir, which impacts the flow of Shipp Creek and the surrounding valley. Genealogists will find numerous family-centric landmarks and spiritual sites, such as the Mount Hope Cem, Old Salem Cem (Ch), and White Hall Ch, alongside several gravel pits that point to the region's localized extraction industry during this era.
