About this map

Colcord and the neighboring settlement of Row anchor this portion of Delaware County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named hollows. The topography is intricately carved by Spavinaw Cr and its tributaries, including Beaty Cr, Hog Eye Cr, and Cherokee Cr. These waterways create a series of ridges and lowlands, such as the distinctive Eagles Bluff and several named valleys like Crazy Nance Hollow, Beamer Hollow, and Beartater Hollow.

For researchers and family historians, the area is notable for its numerous rural burial sites scattered throughout the township. These include Piney Cem, the Thompson- Edmondson Cem, Hamby Cem, Row Cem, and Beck Cem. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where traditional rural life, marked by these small family and community landmarks, meets a modern grid of county roads like Colcord Kiethly Rd and Oak Hill Rd.
