2019 Map of Petersburg

About this map

Petersburg sits in the northwestern corner of this Jackson County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich with family-named burial sites, including the Crabtree Cem Number 1, Masters Cem, and Jacobs Cem. The local transport network relies on a web of township and county roads that navigate the complex drainage patterns of Holland Fork and Sugar Camp Cr. Central to the area is Riegel Ridge, which forms a prominent divide between the various creek beds. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Dever Valley, while the small-scale aviation history of the region is represented by Russ Airport. These features collectively reveal a rural Ohio community where the historical footprint of early settlers remains visible through numerous small cemeteries and family landmarks like Pigeonroost Hollow.
