About this map

Buena Vista and Rome sit along the northern banks of the Ohio River, where the state boundary meets the rugged hill country of southern Ohio. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape defined by deep drainages and named ridges, such as Sunshine Ridge and Blackburn Ridge, which separate the myriad hollows that dominate the interior. The map records several small burial grounds including Manchester Cem, High Hill Cem, and Step Church Cem, providing essential reference points for local family history and genealogy.

Modern recreation and infrastructure are noted through the inclusion of the N Country National Scenic Trail (Buckeye Trail) and the Churn Cr Reservoir. Longstanding place names like Silver Mine Hollow, Cabbage Patch Hollow, and Stocking Leg Hollow reflect the traditional nomenclature of the region's complex topography. The map also traces the winding course of Stout Run and Churn Cr, which drain the interior hills toward the river valley.
