Bio History NoteArchivist, Jeanine Wine, found this map in the Archives stacks. I think that it might illustrate the progression of Brethren settlement from Virginia to Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky following the Ohio River system.  Bill Eberly donated a group of Brethren church letters that traces individual Brethren in Indiana back to Virginia (see Archives flat file).  It would be interesting to do research and see if the map corresponds with Brethren history.  I did not throw the map away because if it does show the migration, it is a nice document to have.
