2020 Map of Ruth

About this map

Ruth and East Lincoln anchor this Lincoln County landscape, where the headwaters of the Topisaw Creek system carve a detailed drainage pattern across the terrain. This modern survey reflects a rural community structure defined by its creek valleys and a network of named trails and roads, such as Dummy Line Trl SE and China Grove Dr SE. Genealogists will find a cluster of significant burial sites including Ruth Cem, Price Cem, and Rawls Cem near the southern settlement of Ruth, while Brister Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem are located to the north. The area's hydrology is dominated by the many forks of Topisaw Cr, including the W Topisaw Cr and E Topisaw Cr, which shape the land between Wellman and the surrounding townships. The intricate grid of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is clearly visible, marking the boundaries of t6n r9e and t5n r9e.
