About this map

White Hall and Roodhouse anchor this Greene County landscape, where the prairie gives way to the winding drainage systems of Hurricane Creek and Apple Creek. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries, such as Pine Tree Cem and William Wood Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing family histories in the vicinity of Wilmington and Patterson. The layout of the region is defined by these small clusters of settlement and a grid of rural routes like Whitehall St and Walkervill Blacktop.

Notable features like Hanks Station and Belltown reflect the enduring rural character of the area. Significant water features including Crooked Run and Seminary Creek cut through the terrain, dictating the placement of secondary roads and local landmarks. This contemporary survey preserves the names of family burial grounds and memorial sites, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Cem, alongside long-established settlements like Walkerville.
