2012 Map of Opdyke

About this map

Small rural settlements and numerous family burial grounds define the landscape east of Mount Vernon in the early twenty-first century. The village of Opdyke serves as a southern anchor, while smaller communities like Marlow, Shirley, and Summersville dot the network of county roads. The area is notable for its high concentration of historic cemeteries, including Old Orchard Cem, Etheridge Cem, and East Salem Cem, which provide significant touchpoints for local genealogical research. Waterways like Sevenmile Cr and Twomile Cr drain the agricultural terrain, flowing through a region where the Mount Vernon Airport marks a modern utility amidst established farming tracts. The map also captures the Camp Ground community, reflecting the area's social and religious history through its namesake gathering place.
