About this map

Rio Grande and the surrounding Gallia County countryside appear in this survey, defined by a landscape of winding creeks and family cemeteries. The village of Thurman serves as a local hub near Smoky Hollow, while the Rio Grande Reservoir and its dam sit at the southern edge of the quadrangle. High ground is marked by features like Lackey Ridge and Brush Ridge, providing a topographic backdrop to the numerous burial grounds that dot the region, including Bethlehem Cemetery, Rehobeth Cemetery, and the Dixon Run Cemetery in the northwest.

Agricultural activity is anchored by the Richards Brothers Fruit Farm near Orpheus, while the Keystone Lookout Tower suggests a history of forest surveillance from the heights above Kyger Run. The drainage network, featuring Little Raccoon Creek and Symmes Creek, dictates the placement of rural roads and bridges such as Calhoun Bridge and Ghee Bridge, which have long connected these small settlements.
