About this map

The Buckeye Furnace State Memorial preserves a significant pocket of early industrial heritage in the Ohio hills, featuring a Furnace and Morris Chapel along Greasy Run. The landscape is deeply carved by water, with Little Raccoon Creek and Raccoon Creek serving as the primary drainage for numerous small runs like Flint Run and Indiancamp Run. Transportation history is visible through an Old Railroad Grade that once connected these rural settlements.

Genealogists will find a wealth of community landmarks, from isolated cemeteries like Fisher Cem and Perkins Cem to the churches that anchored small clusters of homes, such as Uncle Joes Chapel and Mt Carmel Ch. Tiny settlements like Pattonsville, Minerton, and Keystone appear alongside numerous Mines and a Covered Bridge, reflecting a mid-20th-century rural economy transitioning away from the extraction and small-scale farming that shaped these valleys.
