2013 Map of Hartford

About this map

Hartford and Beaver Dam anchor this central Ohio County landscape, where the Rough River winds through the northern terrain near Hawkers Bluff. The area's development is closely tied to its waterways and rural hubs like McHenry and Centertown. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including Oakwood Cem, Haiti Cem, and Old Mill Cem, which speak to the deep-rooted family histories of these communities. The drainage pattern of McCormick Slough and Muddy Cr illustrates the low-lying nature of the river valley, while numerous secondary roads like Tichenor Rd and Mud College Rd provide access to the surrounding farms and smaller settlements. This survey captures a moment of modern continuity in a region where historical transit corridors and river crossings have long dictated the pace of local life.
