2023 Map of Valier

About this map

Mahoning Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, marking the boundary between Jefferson and Indiana counties. The area is defined by a dense network of small rural settlements such as Trade City, Oliveburg, and Valier, many of which grew around the intersections of early township roads and creeks. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous denominational landmarks like the Saint Johns Reformed United Church of Christ Cem and the Methodist Episcopal Cem. Near the eastern edge, the transition from rural valley to the industrial outskirts of Punxsutawney is evident as the Mahoning Shadow Trl follows the path of former rail infrastructure through Horatio and Sportsburg. This documentation of cemeteries and small-scale settlements preserves the spatial history of family-named landmarks like Perry Memorial Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem of Covode within their original rural context.
