2023 Map of Pond Run

About this map

McDermott Cem and McKendree Cem sit north of the Ohio River in a landscape defined by deep, winding hollows and extensive trail networks. This territory, spanning the border of Scioto County, Ohio, and Lewis County, Kentucky, reveals a concentrated system of recreation and forestry paths, including the National Scenic Trl and the Silver Arrow Trl. Small settlements like McGaw, Kennvale, and Pond Run are tucked into the valleys, while Roosevelt Lake and McBride Lake provide drainage points for the many forks of Turkey Creek and Pond Run. The naming conventions throughout the area, such as Dead Man Hollow and Cotton Eye Hollow, reflect a localized folk geography. Near the river, Formans Bottom and Quincy mark the transition from the steep interior ridges to the floodplain, highlighting the sharp contrast between the upland hollows and the river-based economy.
