2016 Map of Piketon

About this map

The Scioto River valley dominates this portion of Pike County, where the village of Piketon sits across from the smaller settlement of Jasper. The map reveals a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, with numerous named peaks such as Combs Knob, Sponyers Knob, and Jasper Knob rising above the river bottomlands. This 2016 survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents a high density of rural burial grounds including Mound Cem, Rittenour Cem, Vine Chapel Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem. The northern reach is characterized by the waters of Lake White, bordered by developed areas like Waverly Gables and Lake View Heights. To the south and west, the terrain becomes increasingly dissected by tributaries such as Sunfish Creek and Long Fork, leading toward Yankee Hill and the community of Bethel.
