2019 Map of Circleville

About this map

Circleville sits as a regional anchor on the eastern bank of the Scioto River, where the historic Pickaway County Courthouse marks the center of a well-defined grid. The landscape to the south and west transitions into the Pickaway Plains, a flat expanse punctuated by the Scippo Cr and the singular rise of Black Mtn. This modern survey reveals a dense concentration of small family and community burial sites, such as Shortridge Farm Cem, Rife Farm Cem, and Shelby Farm Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The map also documents institutional and residential growth beyond the city core, including Ohio Christian University and developments like Jefferson Estates. A unique cultural landmark, the Burning Indian Mound, remains preserved in the terrain east of Logan Elm Village, illustrating the long-standing human presence in this river valley.
