About this map

Russellville and Parkersburg anchor this agricultural landscape along the border of Montgomery and Putnam counties. The area is defined by the winding course of Big Raccoon Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Byrd Br, Ramp Creek, and Peters Cr. This network of waterways shaped the early placement of rural centers and family farmsteads, many of which are marked today by a high concentration of ancestral burial grounds.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of small, localized cemeteries such as Hebron Cem, Sutherlin Cem, and Pickle Cem. The transition from historical transport to modern aviation is visible through the presence of small local facilities like Durham Airport and the 4 Winds Aerodrome near Fincastle. The map also traces established routes like Morton-Russellville Rd and Pat Rady Way, connecting the namesake town of Morton to the surrounding township.
