1961 Map of Sugar Tree Ridge

About this map

White Oak Creek and its many branches, including the East Fork White Oak Creek and Sugar Creek, define the landscape across this rural Ohio borderland. The topography reveals a density of family cemeteries and local landmarks, highlighting the deep genealogical roots of townships like Hamer and Concord. In the northwest corner, the Norfolk and Western railway corridor passes through East Danville (Winkle PO), while further south, the village of Mowrystown serves as a small hub. A mid-century culture is evident in the presence of a Drive-in Theater along the highway, contrasted by traditional community centers like Union Chapel and Miller Chapel. The convergence of Highland, Brown, and Adams counties reflects a complex survey of historical boundaries and small settlements such as Sugar Tree Ridge and Emerald.
