About this map

Little Raccoon Creek and Raccoon Creek weave through this southern Ohio landscape, framing a series of small rural settlements and industrial remnants. In the center of the quadrangle, the community of Buckeye is situated near a legacy Furnace and the Buckeye Furnace Bridge, reflecting the region's iron-producing history. Further east, the Ponn Humpback Covered Bridge spans the water near Minerton, serving as a distinctive landmark of historical engineering. The map reveals a dense network of country roads like Mulga Rd and Tower Ridge Rd, connecting disparate hamlets such as Wainwright, Mulga, and Keystone. For those tracing family history, numerous burial grounds are documented, including Mount Carmel Cemetery, Perkins Cemetery, and Franklin Cemetery. This area is characterized by its creek-bottom settlements and named ridges like Hothouse Ridge, showing how the local topography dictated the placement of early homes and industry.
