About this map

Piketon and the surrounding Scioto River valley define this landscape in the early 21st century, where the river serves as a corridor for both modern infrastructure and deep-rooted settlements. The valley floor is dominated by the broad course of the Scioto River, flanked by significant transportation routes like Us-23 and Oh-32. To the north, the waters of Lake White are surrounded by residential clusters including Lake View Heights, Riviera Park, and Waverly Gables, showcasing the area's development around recreational water features.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the rugged terrain west of the river, from the Yankee Hill Cem and Parmore Cem in the hills to the Mound Cem and Rittenour Cem near the riverbanks. High points such as Jasper Knob, Painters Knob, and Combs Knob break the horizon, separating small communities like Jasper and Pleasant Valley from the more industrial activity near Sargents. The inclusion of Morkassel Field Airport further illustrates the modern accessibility of this historic river crossing region.
