About this map

New Market and the western outskirts of Hillsboro anchor this survey of south-central Ohio, revealing a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and an exceptionally dense network of family and community burial grounds. The area is heavily marked by the Fenner family legacy, with Fenner Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3 cemeteries distributed across the township. These sites, alongside others like the Old Dutch Cemetery and Harrier Township Cemetery, provide a significant spatial record for genealogical research in Highland County.

Waterways like Dodson Creek and the forks of White Oak Creek wind through the terrain, which rises to local heights at Horner Hill and Calebs Hill. The map also captures several smaller hamlets such as Hoagland, Shackleton, and Danville, connected by a grid of township and county roads. This documentation of rural infrastructure and named landmarks like Dunns Chapel preserves the layout of these farming communities as they appeared in the early 21st century.
