About this map

Latham and its surrounding countryside are defined by the winding course of Sunfish Creek and its many tributaries, such as Morgans Fork and Chenoweth Fork. This 2010 topographic survey shows a landscape heavily marked by family history and small rural hubs, with active centers like Latham Post Office and Elm Grove Post Office serving the local population. The terrain is a complex network of ridges and hollows, including Green Ridge, Laurel Ridge, and Beeman Ridge, which separate various valley settlements.

Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, such as Barton Cemetery, Old Clay Cemetery, and the Clayton Number 1 Cemetery. Historical crossings like Wilson Bridge and Red Bridge link the various ridge roads that connect outlying communities like Idaho, Arkoe, and Hatch. The persistence of these named locations, along with landmarks like Victory Hill and Smith Hill, provides a clear view of the established community structure in this part of Pike County.
