About this map

The Scioto River headwaters region in Hardin County is defined by a dense network of drainage engineering, including the Cottonwood Ditch and Cooney Ditch, which support the agricultural productivity of the surrounding townships. The village of Alger serves as a central hub, where N Main St and Oh-235 intersect near the local Po. The map documents numerous smaller settlements and neighborhood clusters such as Quickstep, McGuffey, and Walton, each connected by a grid of county roads and township highways.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the clear marking of several cemeteries throughout the area, including Preston Cem and Shadley Cem near the center of the sheet, and Huntersville Cem to the northeast. Waterways like Grass Cr, Dunlap Cr, and Elder Cr flow through the rural landscape, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the Scioto Basin before the river gains significant volume.
