About this map

South Webster anchors this 2011 survey of southern Ohio, where the local economy and geography remain deeply tied to its industrial and agricultural roots. The map documents a landscape carved by numerous watercourses, including Hales Creek, Bloom Furnace Creek, and Pine Creek, which wind through a series of named hollows such as Slab Hollow and Diamond Hollow. These valleys often served as the sites for early settlements and industry, evidenced by the presence of Firebrick and Olive Furnace.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the township, ranging from the central South Webster Cemetery to smaller family or church-affiliated plots like the Stidham Cemetery, Brant Cemetery, and Johnson Cemetery. Transportation patterns are defined by the B & O railroad line passing through Bloom Junction and a network of ridge-top and valley roads, such as Simmering Ridge and Telegraph Hill Rd W, that connect the disparate hollows and small settlements.
