2019 Map of Lansing

About this map

Wheeling Creek and McMahon Creek define the deeply etched topography of this eastern Ohio landscape, where residential corridors follow the winding valley floors between high, level summits. The map illustrates a dense network of early settlements and hollows, including Mutton Hollow, Soaptown Hollow, and Dandelion Hollow, which reflect the localized industrial and social history of the region. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites, ranging from the High Ridge Cem on the heights to the concentrated grouping of the German Cem, Mount Calvary Cem, and Greenwood Cem near Bellaire. The transition from the established community of Barton in the north to the industrial-residential clusters of Neffs and Saint Joe in the south highlights a landscape shaped by coal and manufacturing. Transport routes like the National Rd and Mount Pleasant Pike reveal how historical thoroughfares continue to dictate the placement of communities such as Blaine and Lansing along the creek bluffs.
