2019 Map of Pond Run

About this map

McDermott Cem and McKendree Cem are situated on the northern bank of the Ohio River, marking the historical burial sites near the settlement of McGaw. This portion of southern Ohio is defined by a dense network of drainages and named hollows, including the evocative Dead Man Hollow and Hog Thief Hollow. The landscape is heavily crisscrossed by recreational infrastructure, from the N Country National Scenic Trail to various bridal and day-hike loops, such as the Day Hike Trail E Loop and Backpack Main Trail N Loop. Small bodies of water like Pond Lick Lake and McBride Lake are tucked between the ridges. Across the river in Kentucky, the community of Quincy and the agricultural lands of Formans Bottom are visible, connected to the Ohio side by the river-valley corridor that has historically shaped the local economy and movement.
