About this map

The N Fork Great Miami River and the S Fork Great Miami River originate in this corner of Hardin and Logan counties, defining a landscape of agricultural drainage and headwaters. Small settlements and rural crossroads like Yelverton and Big Springs dot the terrain, while the larger center of Belle Center is visible in the southwest. The area is marked by a dense grid of township and county roads, reflecting the organized settlement patterns of the Ohio plains.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites across the township, including the Sloan Yelverton Cem, Norman Cem, and Sieg Cem. The northeast corner shows the outskirts of Kenton and the Hardin County Airport, illustrating the modern infrastructure that connects these rural communities. Notable watercourses such as Taylor Cr and Silver Cr cut through the fields, following the subtle topography of the Great Miami watershed.
