About this map

Baylis stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Pike County, characterized by a grid of streets including N Main St and Railroad St. The surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Kiser Cr and Hadley Cr, which drain the rolling terrain between the small communities of Hadley and New Philadelphia.

For genealogists and local historians, the high concentration of family-named burial sites offers significant research value. From the Baylis Cem near the town center to more remote locations like McWorter Cem, Johnson Cem, and Hazelrigg Cem, these sites are scattered throughout the township. The drainage patterns of E Br Kiser Cr and Bull Run further illustrate the rural character of the area, where historical property lines are often preserved by the network of township highways and local roads.
