About this map

The agrarian landscape of Clinton and Fayette counties unfolds in this 2016 survey, where the intersection of drainage ditches and small creeks defines the rural topography. The small settlements of Memphis and Georgetown serve as local anchors within an area dominated by agricultural parcels and a dense network of township roads. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Luttrell Cem and Richland Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in this part of Ohio.

Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by named features like Persinger Ditch, Waddle Ditch, and Hicks Ditch that redirect flow toward larger arteries like Rattlesnake Creek. To the northwest, the edge of Sabina appears, while the southern portion of the sheet transitions toward the Highland County line. This survey is a detailed record of the road systems and local landmarks that have shaped these farming communities.
