2023 Map of Silver Creek

About this map

Silver Creek flows through the center of this agricultural landscape in the headwaters of the Great Miami River system. The terrain is defined by the drainage divide between the North Fork Great Miami River and the South Fork Great Miami River, which bracket the southern half of the quadrangle. Small rural settlements like Yelverton and the edge of Belle Center serve as focal points for a dense grid of township and county roads. For genealogists, several family-named burial sites are preserved across the countryside, including the Sloan-Yelverton Cem and Norman Cem. The northern extent includes a portion of Kenton and the Hardin County Airport, while the county line between Hardin and Logan counties cuts through the southern reaches, marking the boundary of local jurisdictions in this part of western Ohio.
