2023 Map of Eaton North

About this map

New Hope and the northern outskirts of Eaton define this portion of Preble County, where a dense network of country roads connects family farmsteads and rural landmarks. The landscape is deeply etched by a system of waterways including Sevenmile Creek, Bantas Fork, and Goose Creek, which dictated the early placement of homesteads and burial grounds. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of small family and community burial sites, from Wares Chapel Cem in the northeast to the County Home Cem near the southern boundary. These cemeteries, alongside sites like Zion Church Graveyard and New Hope Cem, trace the generational settlement patterns of the township. The historic National Rd traverses the center of the quadrangle, serving as a primary corridor for commerce and travel that shaped the growth of the surrounding agricultural community.
