About this map

Rocky Fork Lake serves as a central geographical feature in this Highland County landscape, where the waters of Rocky Fork and Blinco Branch are impounded near the Rocky Fork Lake Dam. The area around Rainsboro and Marshall is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and landmarks that speak to generations of local settlement. Genealogy researchers can locate the Friends Cemetery, Hartman Cemetery, and Zink Cemetery, among many others scattered across the hills.

Industry and recreation intersect along the water, with the East Shore Marina and South Beach providing public access, while names like McCoppin Mill and Beaver Mill recall the hydraulic power once harvested from these streams. Elevations such as Brushy Knob and McCoppin Hill rise above the drainage basins of the Middle Fork Ohio Brush Creek and Franklin Branch, illustrating the varied terrain of southern Ohio.
