About this map

The Turkey River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, defining the character of the river valley near Osterdock and the Osterdock Bridge. The area is characterized by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small rural settlements, reflecting a deeply rooted agricultural and community history. Toward the south, the town of Colesburg serves as a local hub, featuring the Colesburg Post Office and the Lone Pine Golf Course.

Tracing the terrain reveals a series of named hollows, such as Rock Hollow, Devils Hollow, and White Pine Hollow, which carve into the upland plateaus. These geographic features, along with watercourses like Bloody Run and the Little Turkey River, dictate the placement of local roads including Osterdock Rd and Colesburg Rd. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific sites including Hansel Cemetery, Noggle Cemetery, and Bolsinger Cemetery scattered across the countryside.
