About this map

Hopewell Culture National Historical Park preserves Earthworks that define the prehistoric heritage of the Scioto River valley. This 2016 survey shows the eastern edge of Chillicothe, where urban street grids meet the floodplain. The landscape south of the city is marked by small settlements like Renick and Massieville, often clustered near established family burial grounds such as Findley Cem and Malone Cem.

Topography transitions from the flat river valley to prominent elevations like Mt Logan and Bunker Hill. The local economy and geography are influenced by the confluence of Paint Creek and the river, alongside modern infrastructure like the Miller Cutoff. In the southern reaches, place names such as Three Locks and Vauces hint at the historical transport corridors that once followed the river’s path toward Coon Hollow.
