2015 Map of Lovilia

About this map

Lovilia serves as a focal point in this 2015 survey of the border region between Marion and Monroe counties. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Cedar Creek and Coal Creek, which create a complex system of ridges and valleys that dictate the placement of small towns and rural roads. Significant for genealogical research, the area is dotted with numerous small burial grounds including Saint Peters Cemetery and Woodlawn Cemetery. To the north, the settlements of Marysville and Hamilton are linked by a network of local routes like Vermont Drive and Trinkle Drive. The presence of many family-named landmarks, such as Doud Cemetery and Boyer Cemetery, provides a clear view into the long-standing land ownership and community structure of this agricultural interior.
