About this map

Chillicothe serves as the focal point for this survey, situated at the confluence of the Scioto River and Paint Creek. The map documents a complex landscape of early indigenous earthworks and modern industrial development, prominently featuring the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. North of the city, the Chillicothe Correctional Institute and Sky Park Airport represent significant 20th-century land use, while the city's grid shows institutional landmarks like the Courthouse and City Hall.

Preservation and public lands dominate the high ground, with Great Seal State Park protecting ridges like Mount Logan and Mount Ives. To the south, the Scioto Trail State Forest covers the terrain around Massieville. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Malone Cem, Hamilton Cem, and Findley Cem, alongside early transport nodes like Renick Junction and Three Locks.
