About this map

Richmond and East Springfield anchor this detailed 2010 survey of Jefferson County, Ohio, revealing a landscape defined by its deep spiritual and community roots. The map is particularly notable for its density of burial grounds, tracing the lineage of early settlers through sites like the Mount Zion Methodist Cemetery, Old Annapolis Cemetery, and the Montgomery Cemetery. These sites are often found near long-established ridges such as Timothy Ridge and Quaker Ridge, which dictate the local road network.

Water management and recreation are central to the terrain, marked by the Jefferson Lake Dam and the Saint John Vianney Seminary Dam. Smaller crossroads like Shane and Fairfield connect via a network of township roads that follow the winding paths of Salem Creek and Cedar Lick Creek. This document serves as a vital record for genealogists, preserving the specific locations of family-named landmarks and historical post offices during the first decade of the 21st century.
