About this map

South Webster occupies a valley near the intersection of the Jackson, Scioto, and Lawrence county lines, a landscape defined by industrial history and deep-cut hollows. This area of Southern Ohio is marked by the legacy of early iron production, evidenced by place names like Jackson Furnace Cr and the settlement of Olive Furnace. The township's rugged topography is managed in part by the Wayne National Forest, which covers the eastern ridges and valleys like Old Globe Hollow and Hawkins Hollow.

A network of family and community burial sites such as South Webster Cem, Bloom Switch Cem, and Jackson Furnace Cem provides significant data for genealogical research. The regional water system is anchored by the South Webster Reservoir, while local transport is facilitated by old routes like the Telegraph Trail and Lyra Trail. Smaller settlements like Bloom Junction and Eifort remain connected by historical roads that follow the winding paths of Pine Cr and Hales Cr.
