2010 Map of Foraker

About this map

The Scioto River winds through this agricultural portion of Hardin County, anchoring a landscape defined by its waterways and straight-line rural road network. Small settlements like Foraker and Blanchard are situated among a series of drainage systems including Hog Creek, Fourmile Run, and Cessna Creek. The area's history is preserved in localized burial grounds such as Smith Cemetery, Cessna Cemetery, and Fulton Cemetery, while Potters Field serves as a reminder of the county's social history. Industrial activity is evident at the Hardin Quarry, and local aviation is represented by Hardin Airport and Eibling Circle E Airport. Recreational and natural features like Lake Idlewild and Silver Creek break the geometric pattern of township roads, illustrating the persistent influence of the river basin on this Midwestern farming region during the early 21st century.
