2016 Map of Butler

About this map

The Licking River carves through the southern landscape of this 2016 Pendleton County survey, defining the valley near the settlements of Meridian and Boston. This terrain is characterized by a dense network of ridges and creeks, including Fisher Ridge and the winding course of Twelvemile Creek. The map records a high density of small rural burial grounds and parish centers, such as the Immaculate Conception Church Cem and the Peach Grove Church Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for local genealogy. The settlement pattern follows the high ground and narrow valleys, with Peach Grove and Mount Auburn situated along established ridge roads. These rural communities remain connected by a complex system of local routes like Reis Ridge Rd and Stepstone Church Rd, illustrating a landscape where family history is deeply rooted in the physical topography.
