2019 Map of Patriot

About this map

The Wayne National Forest dominates the hilly terrain of Gallia and Jackson Counties, where numerous small settlements like Patriot and Centerpoint are linked by a complex network of township and county roads. The landscape is deeply incised by the Symmes Creek system, creating a series of hollows such as Hunt Hollow and Holcomb Hollow. This region is a focal point for genealogical research, evidenced by the high density of family-named burial grounds including Tyn Rhos Cem, Wiseman Cem, and Boggs Cem. Along the lower reaches of Symmes Creek, the Cadmus Covered Bridge stands near the community of Cadmus, highlighting the area's preserved rural infrastructure. The map also traces various recreational routes through the woods, including the Symmes Creek Trail N and the Symmes Creek Trail S, reflecting the area's transition toward conservation and forest management.
