About this map

Raccoon Creek meanders through this portion of Gallia County, carving a valley floor that includes Boys Bottom and supporting several small rural communities. The map depicts a landscape characterized by sharp ridges and deep hollows, such as Buck Ridge and Liddy Hollow, which have long influenced the local road network and settlement patterns. Established hamlets like Rodney, Centenary, and Northup serve as focal points in a region where agricultural land is often bordered by the wooded reaches of the Wayne National Forest.

For those researching family history, the area contains a significant concentration of small burial grounds tucked away on hillsides and near old church sites. Notable locations for genealogical study include Fairfield Church Cem, Asbury Cem, and Hulbert Cem. The distribution of these cemeteries alongside legacy routes like Jackson Pike and Adamsville Rd provides a clear view of the historical community structure in this corner of southeastern Ohio.
