2019 Map of Alger

About this map

Alger and McGuffey anchor this Hardin County landscape, where the agricultural grid is intersected by the upper reaches of the Scioto River. The map documents a deeply established rural community defined by its water management and cemetery sites. Numerous family-named burial grounds like Preston Cem, Shadley Cem, and Huntersville Cem are scattered across the townships, providing valuable markers for genealogical research. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of drainage infrastructure, including Cooney Ditch and Cottonwood Ditch, which support the intensive farming of the region. Local transit is concentrated along W Lima St and various county roads, connecting the smaller settlements of Huntersville and Walton to the larger village hubs. The presence of Mud Run and Grass Cr in the northern sections further illustrates the local hydrology that has shaped the area's development.
