About this map

The winding Little Blue River and Turkey Fork define the rural topography of Crawford County in this 2010 study. Small crossroads communities and scattered homesteads like Beechwood, Jericho, and Sulphur Springs are connected by a network of local roads such as Mansfield Rd and S Riddle Rd. The presence of numerous family and church burial grounds, including Wiseman Cemetery, Birds Cemetery, and Orchard Hill Cemetery, provides significant documentation for genealogical research in this riverine landscape.

The terrain rises toward Buzzard Roost Lookout Tower in the south, while the Ohio River forms the southern boundary near Fredonia. The map records the persistence of these small settlements and their local landmarks, from Oriole Lake to the drainage of Mill Creek and Stinking Fork. This detailed view serves as a modern record of the land's traditional division, showing how physical features like Low Gap Branch and the Little Blue River continue to influence the movement and habitation patterns of the region.
