EDITOR’S NOTE: This story was originally published on Richland Source in 2018.
Historically speaking, the now-familiar view from the top of the fire tower in Mohican Memorial State Forest is a relatively recent sight for people in Ashland and Richland Counties.
The Clear Fork Gorge has been there for many thousands of years, but the view of it that we enjoy today from 80 feet in the air has been available only since 1934. Unless, of course, you happened to be a bird.
In the decades since 1934, many hundreds of thousands of humans have climbed that tower, and many of them took their cameras to the top so they could record the view and document their friends in the sky.
