About this map

Minford and its surrounding communities in Scioto County are depicted in this 2013 survey, showcasing a landscape where historical hamlets and rural industry intersect. The region is characterized by narrow hollows and prominent ridges like Strauss Ridge and Dogwood Ridge, with the Little Scioto River winding through the central valley. Notable landmarks include the Bennett Schoolhouse Road Covered Bridge near Harrison Mills and the expansive Greater Portsmouth Regional Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of family-named burial grounds, such as Pinkerman United Brethren Cemetery, Saint Johns Cemetery, and Batterson Cemetery. The eastern edge of the map transitions into the Wayne National Forest, while local agricultural heritage is represented by the Fuhrmann Orchards near Fair Oaks. These features, along with historic points like Scioto Furnace and Wheelers Mill, illustrate the deep-rooted settlement patterns of southern Ohio.
