2016 Map of East Ringgold

About this map

Royalton and East Ringgold anchor this agricultural landscape along the border of Pickaway and Fairfield counties. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Little Walnut Cr in the north and the winding course of Clear Cr to the south. This area maintains a strong connection to its nineteenth-century roots through a high concentration of preserved burial grounds, including the Old Dutch Hollow Cem and the Nigh Family Cem. Small crossroads communities like Cedar Hill and New Strasburg appear as they did before modern sprawl, connected by local routes like the Lancaster Circleville Rd. The distribution of these settlements and cemeteries reveals a pattern of early rural development centered on the creeks and runs that once powered the local economy. Researchers will find a wealth of genealogical markers, from the Turkey Run Baptist Cem to the Lutheran Cem, documenting the area's diverse denominational history.
