About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley between Lawrence County, Ohio, and the Kentucky communities of Flatwoods and Raceland. This 2013 survey details the dense river-valley settlement from Hanging Rock and Ironton down to Coal Grove and Bellefonte. The industrial legacy of the region is preserved in place names like Vesuvius Furnace and the Etna Furnace Cem, while much of the upland terrain is managed as part of the Wayne National Forest.

Infrastructure and education are central to the landscape, featuring the Ashland Regional Airport and the Ohio University Southern Campus. Researchers will find a high concentration of local burial grounds, including the Woodland Cem and Saint Marys Catholic Cem, which serve as vital points for genealogical study. The map also captures significant water management features like the Pine Cr Structure Number Eight Reservoir and Lake Vesuvius amidst numerous hollows such as Irish Hollow and Fisher Hollow.
