About this map

The Stillwater River drainage basin defines the geography of this portion of Miami County, where the river carves distinct geological features such as Big Bend and Horseshoe Bend. The settlement pattern is anchored by the village of Covington in the northwest and Pleasant Hill centrally, connected by the corridor of N State Rte 48. Smaller hamlets like Mulberry Grove and Sugar Grove dot the landscape, often associated with local landmarks such as Sugar Grove Cem.

Industry and transport are evidenced by several small aviation fields, including Bowman Airport, Bashore Airport, and Leavelle Airstrip, scattered among the agricultural sections. The confluence of Greenville Creek and the river near West Covington highlights the importance of these waterways to the early development of the region. Significant creek systems such as Canyon Run, Opossum Run, and Ludlow Creek further dissect the terrain, leading toward Ludlow Falls at the southern boundary.
