2019 Map of Martinsville

About this map

Lynchburg and Martinsville anchor this 2019 survey of the Clinton and Highland county line, where the agricultural traditions of southwest Ohio meet the headwaters of the Little Miami River system. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the E Fork Little Miami River and the W Fork E Fork Little Miami River, which carve subtle valleys through a grid of rural township and county roads. Evidence of long-standing community ties is found in the high density of family and fraternal burial grounds, including the Turner Family Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. These landmarks, along with small nodes like Jonesboro and Morrisville, illustrate a pattern of rural settlement that has remained largely intact. Regional aviation is represented by Barnett Airpark in the northwest, while the Martinsville Road Bridge serves as a key crossing over the E Fork Todd Fork, highlighting the importance of stream crossings in connecting these dispersed farming hamlets.
