About this map

Beaver serves as the primary hub of this southern Ohio landscape, situated at the confluence of the Big Beaver Cr valley and several prominent hollows. The settlement pattern here is deeply tied to the terrain, with family and community identity reflected in numerous small burial grounds such as Beaver Union Cem and the Old German Number 2 Cem. The land is defined by a dense network of drainage-fed depressions, including Dutch Hollow, Sugar Hollow, and Hay Hollow, the latter of which features the Hay Hollow Reservoir.

Industry and local landmarks are scattered across the township lines of t6n r20w and t7n r19w, including the Big Rock Lake and the high point of Big Rock near the Pike Co Jackson Co boundary. The map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the mid-2010s, showing the reach of routes like Swift Creek Rd and Bethel Ridge Rd into the surrounding hills and cemeteries like Mountain Ridge Cem.
