About this map

The Walhonding River carves a significant path through Coshocton County in this early 1960s survey, dominated by the massive Mohawk Dam and its complex spillway system. The landscape reflects a mix of small-town settlement and industrial utility, with Warsaw and Nellie serving as local hubs. Genealogists will find several rural landmarks of interest, including Wilson Chapel, Goshen Ch, and the West Bedford Cem.

Evidence of the area's changing transportation and land use is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running through the eastern hills and the presence of several Oil Wells and a Quarry. The southern portion of the map transitions into the sprawling Woodbury Wildlife Area, while the settlement at Tunnel Hill marks the lower elevation near Little Wakatomika Creek. This era captures the region just as local agriculture was increasingly supplemented by state-managed conservation and resource extraction.
