About this map

Sunfish Creek and its southern branch, the Chenoweth Fork, define the drainage patterns of this Pike County landscape. Small rural communities like Latham, Idaho, and Elm Grove serve as local anchors connected by winding ridge roads. The topography is deeply incised by numerous hollows and runs, including Wycoff Hollow, Hungry Hollow, and Spicy Run, creating a complex network of narrow valleys and high ridges such as Beaver Ridge and Laurel Ridge.

Genealogists will find this area notable for its density of family-named burial grounds. From the Clayton Number 1 Cem and Clayton Number 2 Cem north of the creek to the Old Smith Cem near Hatch, these sites mark the long-standing family settlements in the region. The map also records the path of the Buckeye Trail as it traverses the northern highlands near Barton Cem, tracing the divide between Morgan Fork and the main creek valley.
