2016 Map of Greenfield

About this map

Greenfield serves as the primary hub of this landscape at the Highland and Ross County line, where the street grid includes landmarks like Saint Josephs Cem and Greenfield Cem. The topography is defined by the winding course of Paint Creek, which feeds into the substantial Paint Creek Lake in the southeast quadrant. This waterway system, joined by tributaries like Rattlesnake Creek and Fall Cr, historically dictated the placement of early settlements and rural burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high density of small family or pioneer cemeteries scattered across the countryside, including Crispin Cem, Huff Cem, and Gilboa Cem near the village of New Petersburg. The transition from the structured blocks of Greenfield to the rural outskirts of East Monroe illustrates the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of this part of southern Ohio.
