About this map

Sardinia sits at the northern edge of this Brown County landscape, where the Appalachian Hwy cuts through a terrain defined by numerous small creek valleys and upland farm plots. The map reveals a complex network of rural cemeteries that speak to the area's genealogical history, including the Methodist Colored Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Arnheim Cem. The central part of the quadrangle is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Waynoka, surrounded by a dense residential street grid that contrasts sharply with the traditional agricultural layout of nearby Arnheim and Five Points.

Water management and small-scale settlements define the local geography, from the Lake Waynoka-Upground Reservoir to the southern Russellville Watersupply Reservoir. Historic transit and church sites are scattered throughout, such as the Straight Creek Baptist Cem and W Fork Cem near East Wahlsburg, providing essential landmarks for researchers tracing the development of these Ohio communities south of the Tricounty Hwy.
