About this map

The Scioto River meanders southeastward through this Hardin County landscape, defining the character of a region deeply shaped by its waterways and drainage systems. Near the river's bend, the city of Kenton anchors the southeast corner, revealing a street grid that transitions into a network of township roads and pikes, including Hanson Pike and Brielmaier Pike. These routes connect the smaller settlements of Foraker and Blanchard, illustrating a rural development pattern common to the Ohio till plains.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks preserved on this survey, including Fulton Cem, Smith Cem, and Cessna Cem. A notable localized site is Potters Field, located just west of Kenton's primary residential area. The map also documents the complex hydrology of the area, from the northern Hog Cr to the intricate network of runs and ditches like Cooney Ditch and McCoy Run, which drain the surrounding agricultural lands.
