About this map

Kincaid Springs State Fish Hatchery sits in the northeast corner of this map, a significant landmark near the settlement of Kincaid Springs. The landscape is defined by the intersections of four counties—Highland, Pike, Adams, and Scioto—centering on the village of Byington and the surrounding southern Ohio hills. Small communities and family-named hollows like Lawhorn Hollow and Davidson Hollow are connected by a network of rural routes, including Oh-124 and the Appalachian Highway to the south.

Evidence of the area's rural heritage is found in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as New Fain Cem, Westwood Cem, and Beekman Cem. Geographic features like Massies Heaven and Potato Knob rise above the drainage basins of Sunfish Creek and Scioto Brush Creek, while recreational spots like Longs Retreat Lake and Cave Lake mark the local topography. This 2013 survey documents the enduring layout of crossroad settlements like Poplar Grove and Smoky Corners.
