About this map

Petersburg and Grahamsville anchor this southern Ohio landscape, where the terrain is deeply etched by a network of hollows and ridges. Waterways like Bucklick Creek and the Holland Fork wind through the hills, creating a topography defined by distinct landforms such as Pigeonroost Hollow and Riegel Ridge. The map reveals a highly dispersed settlement pattern, with smaller crossroads like Mabee Corner and McCoy serving as local focal points between the larger creek valleys.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family-named burial grounds, including Crabtree Cemetery Number 1, Culp Cemetery, and Masters Cemetery. The presence of Russ Airport near the center of the quadrangle provides a modern landmark amidst a predominantly rural grid of township roads. This 2010 survey offers a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and land use in Jackson County, preserving the names of the small communities and the many cemeteries that dot the countryside.
