About this map

The Little Scioto River and its numerous tributaries dominate the landscape of Scioto and Pike counties in this early twentieth-century survey. The region is defined by a dense network of rural schoolhouses and industrial remnants, such as Harrison Furnace School and Scioto Furnace, reflecting the transition from an iron-producing economy to a more settled agricultural and timber-based society. The intricate drainage patterns of Buckhorn Creek and Long Run are interspersed with family-named landmarks and high points like Haystack Knob and Diffen Hill.

Significant transportation infrastructure lines the river valleys, including the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and the Norfolk and Western RR. These rail lines served as the lifeblood for dozens of small sidings and junctions like Marshall Siding, Germany Siding, and Edmunds Switch. Historical researchers will find value in the detailed placement of long-standing institutions like Wallace Mills and Harrison Mills, alongside the localized post offices at Stockdale P.O. and Davis Sta George P.O..
