About this map

The city of Jackson serves as the focal point for this survey, showing a landscape shaped by both industry and conservation in southern Ohio. The urban core is detailed with thoroughfares like Howard Central Ave and Sycamore St, while the surrounding townships of Liberty and Coal reveal a dense network of rural landmarks. Of particular note is the Lake Katherine State Nature Preserve, which protects the waters of Rock Run and Little Salt Creek.

Evidence of the area's historical development is scattered throughout the hills, from the kilns near Sharon to the numerous family and community cemeteries such as Landrum Cem and Exline Cem. Transportation is dominated by the intersecting routes of the Baltimore and Ohio RR and the Chesapeake and Ohio RR, which once supported the regional movement of goods. Local social history is further marked by several country schoolhouses and chapels, including Lick Sch and Pleasant Grove Ch.
