About this map

Buckhorn Furnace and Lawrence Furnace stand as markers of the historic iron industry that once defined this portion of the Hanging Rock Iron Region. This landscape, straddling the border of Scioto and Lawrence counties, is characterized by a dense network of hollows such as Boggs Hollow and Wolcott Hollow that drain into Pine Creek. The transition from industrial extraction to conservation is evident in the sprawling acreage of the Wayne National Forest and the Dean State Forest.

Settlements like Pedro, Lisman, and Etna Junction are linked by the winding corridor of State Route 93, while legacy sites like the Pilot Knob Lookout Tower overlook the ridges. Local history is preserved in small family and community burial grounds, including the Finley Cem, Warneke Cem, and Buckhorn Number One Cem. Evidence of later industrial activity remains through the Marquette Cement Company Reservoir and the Superior-Marquette Cement Company Pond near Superior.
