2013 Map of Pond Run

About this map

Shawnee State Park dominates this portion of the Ohio River valley, characterized by a dense network of hollows and small water bodies. The terrain is defined by its deep drainages, with evocative names such as Hog Thief Hollow, Dead Man Hollow, and Blue Clay Hollow etched into the landscape. Along the southern edge, the Ohio River forms the state boundary with Kentucky, where the settlements of Quincy and Formans Bottom sit opposite the Ohio shore. This area serves as a significant recreational and conservation zone, containing Turkey Creek Lake, Roosevelt Lake, and the Pond Run Lookout Tower. Transportation is centered on Us-52 and Oh-125, which navigate the winding valleys. Small communities and historical sites like McGaw and the McDermott Cem are tucked between the ridges, reflecting the long-standing rural character of Scioto County.
