About this map

The borderlands of Ross and Pickaway counties are defined by a shift from the level terrain of The Prairie to the dissected hills of the Appalachian Plateau. The village of Hallsville serves as a central hub, surrounded by a network of family-named burial grounds including Throckmorton Cem, Hickle Cem, and Maple Grove Cem. To the northeast, the settlement of Adelphi sits near the headwaters of Salt Cr, while the village of Whisler occupies the northern plains near Plum Run.

Tracing the southern half of the map reveals a more dramatic landscape of ridges and hollows. Jobs Knob and Rock Hill tower over the drainage basins of Little Walnut Cr and Walnut Cr. This area is characterized by narrow valleys such as Slickaway Hollow and Butcher Hollow, which historically dictated the winding paths of roads like Luckhart Rd. The map also identifies local landmarks like Mission Field and the secluded Pine Lake, showing how the local topography has shaped land use from agriculture to recreation.
