2015 Map of Cato

About this map

Arcadia and the surrounding borderlands of Bourbon and Crawford Counties are depicted here, revealing a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds. This modern survey shows the persistence of local identities in places like Dry Wood and Cato, situated along the winding courses of W Fork Dry Wood Cr and Richland Cr. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies over a dozen distinct cemeteries, including the Old Arcadia Cem, Trogdon Drywood Cem, and McGonigle Cem. Terrain features such as Bunker Hill rise above the drainage basins of Bone Cr and Cox Cr, while the Bone Cr Reservoir in the southwest corner indicates more recent hydrological developments in this agricultural region.
