About this map

The rolling knobs of the Virginia Military District define this 1961 landscape where Pee Pee Creek and Crooked Creek carve through the Southern Ohio hills. The transport corridor of the Detroit Toledo and Ironton Highway provides the primary artery between Denver and the edge of Waverly, while a high density of family-named peaks like Gundy Knob, Sams Knob, and Lowry Knob indicate a deeply rooted rural community.

Genealogists can trace local history through a concentration of burial grounds and rural institutions, including Yankee Hill Cem and Cousins Cem, alongside landmarks such as Mary Chapel and the Township Sch. In the southern portion of the quadrangle near the Ross Co Pike Co line, the map records the Atomic Speedway and the fairways of the Skyline Golf Course Trail, marking the intersection of traditional hill settlements and mid-century recreation.
