About this map

Sevenmile Creek and its many tributaries, including Bantas Fork and Rocky Run, carve through the agricultural landscape north of Eaton. This 2016 survey shows the persistent rural character of Preble County, where the historic settlements of Gettysburg and New Hope remain centered on their original crossroads. The map is particularly dense with genealogical markers, noting numerous family and church burial grounds such as Stump Cemetery, Petry Cemetery, and the Zion Church Graveyard.

The historic National Road bisects the northern half of the quadrangle, serving as a primary east-west artery through this corner of the state. Downstream along the creeks, landmarks like the Christman Bridge and the County Home Cemetery provide specific points of interest for local historians. The detailed section lines and numerous named country roads, from Upshur Northern Road to Wares Road, reveal the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System in this part of Ohio.
