2016 Map of Pedro

About this map

Buckhorn Furnace and Lawrence Furnace anchor the industrial heritage of this southern Ohio landscape within the Wayne National Forest. The map documents a rugged terrain of steep ridges and deep hollows, such as Cranes Nest Hollow and Germany Hollow, where small settlements like Pedro and Lisman are tucked into the valley floors. Genealogists can locate several family burial sites, including Puckett Cem, Warneke Cem, and Finley Cem, many situated on high ground above the drainage of Pine Creek. The industrial footprint of the region is evident at the Superior Marquette Cement Company Pond, illustrating the transition from 19th-century iron furnaces to modern resource extraction. A network of specialized routes, such as the IR S Superior OHV and IR PC Wolcott OHV, crisscrosses the forest, reflecting the contemporary use of the land for recreation.
