About this map

The Scioto River meanders across this rural landscape where Marion, Hardin, and Union counties meet. The village of La Rue serves as the primary hub, situated near the river and surrounded by a network of drainage waterways including McDonald Cr, Wildcat Cr, and Dudley Run. The agrarian character of the region is evident in the dense distribution of family-named cemeteries and small settlements like Hepburn.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous local burial sites, such as Bonner Cem, Fisher Cem, and Mount Pleasant Cem, which anchor the histories of early resident families to specific township sections. The map reveals the intricate water management system required for this low-lying territory, tracing the courses of Ash Run, Panther Cr, and Rush Cr as they feed into the larger river basin.
