About this map

Sunfish Creek and its many tributaries, including Chenoweth Fork, Morgan Fork, and Spoon River, define the intricate drainage patterns of this Pike County landscape. Small communities and historical crossroads such as Latham, Idaho, and Elm Grove serve as local anchors along the winding valley roads. The region's geography is characterized by prominent ridges like Green Ridge, Beavers Ridge, and Laurel Ridge, which separate the numerous hollows that cut through the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family and community burial grounds documented here, from the Clayton Number 1 Cem and Clayton Number 2 Cem in the north to the Old Smith Hill Cem and Chestnut Cem near the southern border. The map also traces the Buckeye Trl as it traverses the ridges, reflecting the area's transition into a space for conservation and recreation alongside its long-standing rural settlements.
