About this map

The Great Miami River winds through this section of Shelby County, anchoring the riverside village of Port Jefferson. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the upland agricultural plains and the wooded valleys carved by waterways like Turkeyfoot Creek and Indian Creek. Small crossroads settlements including Pemberton and Pasco mark the intersections of rural county highways, serving as local centers for the surrounding farming community.

Family history is well-represented through numerous small burial grounds, including Roberts Cem, Dunkard Cem, and the Pioneer Cem near the riverbanks. The survey traces the complex drainage patterns of the area, showing the courses of Mosquito Creek and Leatherwood Creek as they feed into the larger river system. This record of the rural Ohio landscape captures the established grid of township roads and the persistent importance of early pioneer-era landmarks in the modern day.
