About this map

Decatur serves as a central hub in this corner of Southern Ohio, situated at the intersection of Oh-125 and Decatur Eckmansville Rd. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the West Fork Eagle Creek and E Fork Eagle Cr, which carve through the region's complex system of ridges and hollows. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich with small burial sites, including Liberty Chapel Cem, Bissinger Cem, and the more remote Woods Cem.

The settlement pattern follows the high ground of features like Brier Ridge and Hickory Ridge, while industry and travel are marked by historical crossings such as the George Miller Road Bridge and Eagle Creek Bridge. Smaller hamlets like Eckmansville and Fairview anchor the northern and eastern portions of the map, connected by a network of rural routes including Decatur Pike and Narrow Gauge Rd.
