2010 Map of Hard Scratch

About this map

Hard Scratch and Crisp anchor this rural Harrison County landscape, where a series of north-south flowing creeks define the terrain. The network of waterways, including Harris Grove Creek, Potato Creek, and Pigeon Creek, dictates the placement of section-line roads and family-linked landmarks. This 2010 survey captures the agricultural layout of the region, emphasizing the longevity of local burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic interments including Bethel Cemetery and Henderson Cemetery in the north, while Valley View Cemetery and Cox Cemetery serve the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle. The grid of country roads, from Reading Trl to Taylor Ave, remains the primary framework for this traditional farming community.
