About this map

Little Scioto River and its intricate tributaries carve through the townships of Madison, Harrison, and Bloom in this detailed look at Scioto County. The industrial legacy of the region is evident at Scioto Furnace and Harrison Furnace Ch, while the local transportation network is anchored by Edmunds Switch and the County Airport. Settlement patterns show a cluster of communities and additions near the river, including Highland Bend, Slocum Heights, and Happy Hours Addition, reflecting mid-century residential growth.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Old Bennett Cem, Knore Cem, and Squire Cem. The map also documents essential community centers like Sunshine Sch and Marshall Sch, alongside numerous spiritual hubs such as Porter Ch and St Johns Ch. To the east, the boundary of the Wayne National Forest begins, marking a transition from the settled river valley into more heavily wooded terrain.
