About this map

Caesar Creek and its major tributaries, Anderson Fork and Gurneyville Fork, carve through the rural landscape of southwestern Ohio. The settlement of New Burlington sits at a central crossroads where these waters meet, serving as a landmark along the boundary of Greene and Clinton Counties. The survey reveals a highly organized agricultural grid defined by family-named roads like Hussey Road and Hawkins Road, reflecting the 19th-century settlement patterns of the Virginia Military District.

Genealogists will find a wealth of community centers, from the Richland Ch in the north to Sharon Ch and Chester Ch in the south. Distinctive landmarks such as the Indian Mound near Massie and various Grain Storage Bins illustrate the long history of land use here, from ancient earthworks to mid-century industrial farming. Numerous family burial grounds, including the McKnight Cem and Brown Cem, are meticulously plotted across the townships.
