About this map

The agricultural plains of Fayette Co and Highland Co are defined by the winding paths of Sugar Creek and Paint Creek, where small settlements like Staunton and Rock Mills serve as local hubs. This landscape is a patchwork of family-named landmarks and historic burials, including the Sheep Pen Cem along the southern border and the Sugar Grove Cem near the central drainage.

Transportation throughout the region relies on a dense grid of county and township roads, such as Leesburg Ave and Greenfield Sabina Rd SW, which connect isolated farmsteads to the Merritt Airport. The map documents a rural Ohio interior where watercourses like Rattlesnake Creek and Wabash Cr dictated early road placement and property lines. For genealogists, the numerous burial sites like Sollars Cem and Cochran Cem provide specific points of reference for tracing local lineage in these townships.
