2023 Map of Dayton

About this map

Mahoning Creek winds through this rural landscape at the intersection of Armstrong, Jefferson, and Indiana counties. The terrain is defined by a high concentration of country churchyards and family burial grounds, reflecting the deep multi-generational roots of small upland settlements like Timblin, Dora, and Porter. These hamlets are linked by a network of rural routes such as Ringgold Timblin Rd and Dora Tipple Dr, the latter hinting at the region's coal mining heritage. Local history is anchored at sites like Saint James Lutheran Church Cem and Mount Tabor Cem, which stand alongside numerous smaller plots including the Fairview Cem and Copenhaver Crossroads Cem. This modern topographic study reveals a landscape where traditional community centers—churches and their associated cemeteries—remain the primary landmarks amidst the many runs and branches feeding the creek valley.
