2019 Map of Good Hope

About this map

Good Hope and Fairview anchor this agricultural landscape along the border of Fayette and Ross Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways, including Indian Cr and Whetstone Run, which carve through the rural acreage towards the North Fork Paint Creek. The settlement pattern reflects deep-rooted family ties to the land, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Eyeman-Bryant Cem and Rogers McElwain Cem found tucked away from the primary thoroughfares. To the south, the topography shifts near Slate Hill, where the drainage of Buckskin Cr and its various forks creates a more complex relief. Modern transit corridors like Mills Rd SE and Washington Good Hope Rd overlay an older network of township roads, preserving the spatial layout of these farming communities as they appeared in the early 21st century.
