About this map

Symmes Creek and its many tributaries, including Rocky Fork and Black Fork, carve a complex drainage pattern across this section of southern Ohio. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Wayne National Forest and a series of rural hollows such as Hunt Hollow and Burnette Hollow. Small settlements and agricultural crossroads are scattered throughout the hills, connected by a network of winding state routes and local roads that follow the ridges and valley floors.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Tyn Rhos Cem, Old Pine Cem, and Siloam Cem. A standout landmark in the southern portion of the map is the Cadmus Covered Bridge, located near the community of Cadmus, crossing Sand Fork. The map also captures the transition between Jackson and Lawrence county lines, reflecting the enduring rural character of the Patriot and Rio Grande areas.
