2013 Map of Chillicothe East

About this map

Chillicothe and its surrounding river valley are documented here in the early twenty-first century, anchored by the winding course of the Scioto River. This landscape is deeply shaped by its indigenous history, most notably at the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, situated along the riverbanks south of the city center. The settlement patterns follow the valley floor, with Renick and Massieville connected by the modern highway corridors of US-23 and US-50. Family and community history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Greenlawn Cem and Grandview Cem near the urban core, and the smaller Findley Cem and Hamilton Cem in the outlying areas. The terrain rises sharply from the river bottom to prominent heights like Mt Logan and Mt Ives, while the southeastern corner is defined by a network of drainage systems including Indian Creek and the curiously named Deadman Crossing.
