About this map

Beaver serves as the central hub of this topographical study, situated at the confluence of Big Beaver Creek and Swift Creek. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of narrow hollows, such as Dutch Hollow and Buck Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Dutch Hollow Rd. The map reveals a significant concentration of early community landmarks, including the Beaver Union Cem and the Old German Number 2 Cem, suggesting a well-established settlement history in this portion of Pike County.

Further east, the terrain rises toward Big Rock and Big Rock Lake, while small hamlets like Limerick and Glade anchor the corners of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, from Carrs Run Cem in the northwest to Wesley Cem in the southeast. The drainage patterns of the Little Sciato River and Pigeon Creek further illustrate the deeply dissected nature of this Southern Ohio region.
