Ohio Hill (aka High Hill) may have been named for the company officials who settled on the knob just above the word "Raleigh" on the map. Most officials were born in Ohio.

The company officials, The Black Knights, in the 1930s began to move from the hill, where the largest of the original company houses had been built, to the bluffs overlooking the town from the north. There, they built massive homes in the attractive land around the Black Knight Country Club.

The gun tower, as far as I know, was on the knob represented on the map to the north of the big words "Glen Morgan."
