1961 Map of Sugar Tree Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

White Oak Creek and its tributary East Fork White Oak Creek drain this landscape of the Virginia Military District, where southern Ohio's rural topography meets the edge of the Appalachian foothills. The Norfolk and Western railway cuts through the northwestern corner, serving the village of Mowrystown and the settlement of East Danville. This 1961 record, with 1974 revisions, documents a pastoral community defined by small agricultural hamlets like Taylorsville and Sugar Tree Ridge. The area is particularly dense with family-named burial grounds, such as Redkey Cem, Pettijohn Cem, and the dual Wesley Chapel Cems, reflecting generations of local landownership. An interesting mid-century addition to the rural layout is the Drive-in Theater located south of White Oak, standing in contrast to traditional landmarks like Bethel Church.
