2016 Map of Sardinia

About this map

Sardinia and Mowrystown anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, situated along the border of Brown and Highland counties. The region is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including East Fork White Oak Creek and the Middle Run, which carve through the terrain near Mount Orab. This 2016 survey documents the enduring rural structure of the area, where small unincorporated settlements like Buford, Gath, and Needfull are connected by a dense grid of township roads. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Hollowtown Cem, Bells Run Cem, and the Wright Cem. The geography reflects a long-standing agricultural pattern, with homesteads clustered around drainage points like Slabcamp Run and Twin Run, maintaining a character that has persisted through generations in this part of southern Ohio.
