About this map

The Scioto River meanders across this Hardin County landscape, defining the topography south of the Kenton city limits. This region is characterized by a dense network of local township and county roads that partition the agricultural fields of the mid-2010s. Small rural communities like Foraker and Blanchard anchor the western and northern portions of the quadrangle, while the western edge of Kenton shows the transition from residential streets to the river's floodplain.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the preservation of several historic burial grounds, including Smith Cem, Cessna Cem, and Fulton Cem. A notable localized site is the Potters Field located near the river on the edge of town. The area's drainage and irrigation history is visible through features like Cooney Ditch and numerous small runs such as McCoy Run and Payden Run, which feed into the primary river system.
