2011 Map of Pedro

About this map

Lawrence Furnace and Buckhorn Furnace anchor this industrial landscape in southern Ohio, where the legacy of iron production and mineral extraction is etched into the terrain. The topography is defined by an intricate network of hollows, such as Vinegar Hollow and Furnace Hollow, which drain into Pine Creek and its many tributaries. By this decade, the local economy shows a distinct shift toward cement production, evidenced by the large Marquette Cement Company Reservoir and the Superior Marquette Cement Company Pond. Small settlements like Pedro, Lisman, and Etna Junction are connected by winding forest roads and rural routes that follow the narrow valley floors. High points in the landscape, such as Periscope Ridge, offer vantage points like the Pilot Knob Lookout Tower, while numerous family and community burial grounds, including Mount Hope Cemetery and Puckett Cemetery, provide essential records for local genealogists tracing the area's early residents.
