About this map

Richwood serves as the central hub of this Northern Ohio landscape, where the street grid transitions into a vast network of section roads and agricultural drainage. The village is anchored by Richwood Lake, while the surrounding Union County countryside is defined by the winding paths of Rush Creek and Fulton Creek. To the north, the small settlement of Essex sits near Cheney Cem, while the southern reaches feature the community of Claiborne and the historic Stony Point Cem.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including Price Cem, Hamilton Cem, and Claiborne Cem, which are scattered among large tracts of farmland and unique terrain features like the Big Swale. This survey illustrates the modern persistence of the region's rural character, showing how 21st-century infrastructure follows the same creek-bound and township-line patterns established by early settlers in the Scioto River watershed.
