About this map

New Lexington serves as the focal point for this section of Perry County, showing a developed street grid that includes Railroad St, N Maple Hts, and McKinley Ave. The town's historical foundations are evident through religious and civic markers like the First Methodist Church, the Old Baptist Church, and the New Lexington Post Office. Surrounding the town, the landscape transitions into industrial and rural sectors, highlighted by the presence of the Sunnyhill Slurry Impoundment and the Sunnyhill Mine Number Nine Freshwater Dam, reflecting the region's mining heritage.

Smaller outlying settlements such as Rehoboth, Moxahala, and Bristol are connected by a network of ridges and watercourses. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, including Saint Aloysius Cemetery, Whiptown Cemetery, and the Ironpoint Cemetery located near the southern margin. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Bristol Ridge and Skinner Ridge which overlook Moxahala Creek and Monday Creek.
