About this map

Memphis and Georgetown anchor this agricultural landscape in Clinton County, where a dense network of country roads defines the rural character of early 21st-century Ohio. The terrain is marked by an extensive system of water management, including Persinger Ditch, Waddle Ditch, and Hicks Ditch, which support the surrounding farmsteads. These man-made channels feed into larger natural waterways like Rattlesnake Creek and Lees Creek, illustrating the long-standing efforts to drain the fertile till plains for cultivation.

Genealogists will find significant value in the high density of family and community burial grounds documented here. Scattered across the township are locations such as Evans Cemetery, Luttrell Cemetery, Richland Cemetery, and the Anders Cemetery. The inclusion of the Sabina Airport near the northern boundary and the transition of Middle Fork Lees Creek through the southwest corner provides a clear view of how modern aviation and traditional agriculture occupy this historic Ohio territory.
