About this map

Baylis sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Pike County, surrounded by a network of drainage ways including Hadley Creek and Kiser Creek. The village of New Philadelphia appears to the west, while the Norfolk and Western Railroad Grade cuts a distinctive line across the terrain, reflecting the area's logistical history.

Genealogists will find this 1998 survey particularly useful for locating small, rural burial grounds such as McWorter Cem, Hazeling Cem, and Iftner Cem, which are scattered throughout the townships of Hadley, Derry, and New Salem. The presence of a Quarry and a central Water Tank in Baylis provides concrete landmarks for those tracing the development of local industry and infrastructure at the close of the 20th century.
