About this map

French Ridge and the deep valleys of Wolf Creek define the landscape of northwestern Coshocton County in the early 1960s. The area is characterized by scattered rural settlements like Stillwell and Spring Mountain, where the local economy and infrastructure are closely tied to the underlying geology. Numerous Strip Mines and Quarries dot the hillsides, particularly near the Holmes and Coshocton county line, while gas extraction is evidenced by a dense network of Gas Wells throughout the Richland and Killbuck townships.

For genealogists, the map is a vital resource, meticulously documenting rural burial grounds and congregations. Family history is anchored at sites such as Union Grove Ch Cem, Harmony Cem, and Dutch Run Ch. Of particular historical interest is Fort Fizzle, a local landmark associated with Civil War-era resistance. The winding paths of Beaver Run and Hoagland Run cut through the terrain, connecting the small crossroads of New Princeton to the broader drainage of Killbuck Creek.
