About this map

Russellville serves as a primary hub in this portion of Brown County, situated at the junction of several key routes including US Rte 68 and US Rte 62. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south ridges and hollows that drain toward the Ohio River at the southern edge of the map near Ripley. Significant topographic landmarks include Hillman Ridge and Dixon Ridge, while numerous hollows such as Chicken Hollow and Myers Hollow illustrate the area's intricate drainage patterns into creeks like Straight Creek and Eagle Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, from the Associated Reformed Churchyard and Old Russellville Cem in the north to the Old Redoak Cem and Devore Family Cem further south. The settlement pattern follows the high ground and creek valleys, connecting small communities like Redoak and Stringtown via a network of township roads and county highways that have long defined this agricultural region of southern Ohio.
