About this map

The Scioto River meanders through the heart of this Marion County agricultural landscape, defining the character of a region deeply rooted in its rural heritage. The village of La Rue stands as the primary hub, where the La Rue Post Office and local streets anchor the community. Smaller settlements like Hepburn and Pfeiffer punctuate the grid of county and township roads, which connect the vast farmlands divided by numerous waterways, including Panther Creek, Wildcat Creek, and McDonald Creek.

Genealogists will find this 2010 survey particularly valuable for its precise documentation of local burial sites. A high density of cemeteries is distributed across the townships, such as Crandall Cemetery, Myres Cemetery, LaRue Cemetery, and Mount Pleasant Cemetery. These sites, along with family-named landmarks like Vesey Cemetery and Fisher Cemetery, provide a clear window into the multi-generational land ownership and settlement patterns of this corner of Ohio.
