About this map

The Univ of Rio Grande serves as a prominent landmark in this portion of southeastern Ohio, situated near the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by a series of hollows and ridges, including Hungry Hollow, Smoky Hollow, and Lackey Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Davis Rd and Keystone Rd. The boundary between Jackson Co and Gallia Co bisects the map, passing through the small community of Orpheus.

Agricultural and educational interests are well-represented, from the Richards Brothers Fruit Farm to the Gallia Jackson Vinton Joint Vocational Sch District. Local history is preserved in a high density of rural burial grounds such as Dixon Run Cem, Shilo Cem, and Rehobeth Cem. Water features like Little Raccoon Creek and the Rio Grande Reservoir provide the primary drainage for this dissected landscape, while the Keystone Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the wooded heights of the western hills.
