About this map

Baylis and the surrounding township lands of Pike County reflect a long-established agricultural landscape, where the road network follows the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System. The area is marked by a significant concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as McWorter Cem, Johnson Cem, and the uniquely named Brawley Iftner - Orr Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing early settlers.

Drainage through the region is defined by the winding paths of Hadley Cr and Kiser Cr, which cut through the farm plots. Notable landmarks like Rising Spring Orchard Lake and the settlement of Hadley suggest the importance of water resources and small rail-side hubs in this rural interior. The map also captures El Dara in the southwest, showing the connectivity between these scattered villages via routes like Co Hwy 2.
