2013 Map of Richmond Dale

About this map

Richmond Dale serves as a primary hub for this portion of Ross County, situated where the Scioto River valley meets the rugged creek-fed hills to the east. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Salt Creek, which flows past the settlement at West Junction and joins the larger river system. Numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries are scattered throughout the hills, including Beals Cem and the Little Mound Cem near the town center, suggesting a long history of local settlement and genealogical depth. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive geological features like Chimney Rocks and Buzzard Rock. The area's water management is evident in the industrial footprints of Southern Silica Pond Number One and Southern Silica Pond Number Two, while smaller communities like Vigo and the colorful Lickskillet populate the northern reaches of the quadrangle along the railroad corridors.
