About this map

Jackson serves as the regional anchor of this southern Ohio landscape, where the town’s grid is punctuated by the Jackson Post Office and bordered by residential growth in Jackson Heights. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of narrow hollows and ridges, such as McCune Ridge and Harper Hollow, defined by the winding paths of Salt Lick Creek and Buckeye Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and burial grounds scattered through the rural outskirts, including Landrum Cemetery, Exline Cemetery, and Glassburn Cemetery. Industrial history is represented by the Jackson Furnace, a reminder of the area’s iron-producing past. The presence of significant water management is evident at Hammertown Lake and Lake Katharine, both secured by their respective dams. These features, alongside the Buckeye Swamp, illustrate a landscape where natural topography and human engineering are closely intertwined.
