2018 Map of Boaz

About this map

Boaz and its surrounding rural hamlets are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows in Richland County. The village of Boaz sits at the confluence of Mill Cr and W Br Mill Cr, where the valley floors widen enough to support a central settlement. To the west, the high ground of Wild Rose Ridge and West Ridge separates deep drainages like Beebe Hollow and O'Connor Br. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Conkle Cem, Five Points Cem, and the Saint Mathews Catholic Cem, indicating a long-established pattern of upland farming and decentralized community life. From the southern boundary near Basswood to the northern reaches of Mid Ridge, the landscape is a grid of county highways and winding tracks like Rolling Rock Rd that trace the narrow valley floors and sharp ridgelines.
