Until Oberlin initiated road building there were no roads connecting the villages to the outside world. In the 19th and 20th centuries, people drawn to Oberlin and his story visited the region and made drawings, lithographs, photographs and paintings of Oberlin's churches, his gravesite, the villages, and the landscape.
