About this map

The Scioto River carves a wide valley through this region of southern Ohio, where the village of Piketon serves as a central hub for commerce and local history. To the north, the waters of Lake White are contained by the Lake White Dam, creating a residential shoreline that includes Riviera Park and Lake View Heights. This landscape is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial grounds such as Mound Cemetery, Yankee Hill Cemetery, and the Jasper Methodist Cemetery near the settlement of Jasper.

The topography is defined by prominent elevations including Jasper Knob and Poplar Knob, while the lower lands are marked by drainage systems like Big Beaver Creek and Sunfish Creek. In the south, the community of Sargents sits along the rail corridor, while the Pike County Fairgrounds occupies a prominent position east of the river. The map details a transition from the structured residential blocks of Waverly Gables to the winding rural routes of Yankee Hill RD and Buchanan RD.
