About this map

Lime Ridge serves as a central hub in this agricultural landscape of Richland County, surrounded by a network of family-owned dairy and stock operations. The region's agrarian character is deeply rooted, with landmarks such as the Woods Homestead, Plainview Dairy and Grain Farm, and the unique Fairview Grain and Hop Farm marking the rural countryside. Along the winding course of Willow Creek and its tributaries like McGlynn Creek, several small communities and crossroads such as Loyd and Sandusky provide glimpses into the local settlement patterns of the early 21st century.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed documentation of community resting places, including Concord Cemetery, Big Willow Cemetery, and Saint Pauls Cemetery. The geography is defined by its deep hollows, such as Smith Hollow and Lost Hollow, which have long dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads. From Wards Corners to the various valley stock farms, the map illustrates a resilient rural economy shaped by both the terrain and generations of family heritage.
