About this map

Greater Portsmouth Regional Airport anchors the central landscape of this Scioto County survey, where the infrastructure of modern aviation meets a deeply established rural topography. To the east, the historic footprint of Scioto Furnace and its associated Scioto Furnace Cem point to the area's industrial roots. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Dutch Ridge and Bearwallow Hollow, which funnel water into the Little Scioto River and its numerous tributaries.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Pinkerman United Brethren Cem, Squire Cem, and Hartley Cem. Notable local landmarks such as the Bennett Schoolhouse Road Covered Bridge and old milling sites like Harrison Mills and Wheelers Mill reveal a settlement pattern tied closely to the creek beds. The southern portion transition into more developed areas like Wheelersburg and Sciotodale, while the northeastern corner reaches toward the Wayne National Forest.
