About this map

Riegel Ridge and the winding waters of Bucklick Creek characterize this Jackson County landscape, where small-scale aviation and dozens of local burial grounds define the modern rural layout. The presence of Russ Airport near McCoy Cem highlights the specialized land use in this part of Ohio, while the terrain is deeply etched by namesake hollows like Pigeonroost Hollow and Irish Hollow. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named sites, including Crabtree Cem Number 1, Grahamsville Cem, and Canter Cem Number 2, which are scattered throughout the hills and valleys. The drainage patterns of Holland Fork and Fourmile Creek dictate the road network, as local routes like Van Fossan Rd and Ralph Riegel Rd follow the contours of the land. This survey provides a precise accounting of the region's cemeteries and watercourses, reflecting a community rooted in its geographic topography and ancestral landmarks.
