About this map

The Scioto River winds through this agricultural landscape at the convergence of Hardin, Marion, and Union Counties. The village of La Rue serves as the primary population center, situated along the river's eastern banks where S High St and Front St form the town's core. To the northwest, the small settlement of Hepburn is positioned near the river, reflecting the early 21st-century rural character of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family-named burial sites scattered across the township lines. These include the Montgomery, Virden, and Lee cemeteries in the northern reaches, as well as the centrally located Fisher and Vesey cemeteries. The land is drained by a network of waterways including Wildcat, McDonald, and Panther creeks, which shaped the placement of early homesteads and the grid of township roads like Wildcat Pike and Marion-Hardin Road.
