About this map

Stanford and the surrounding borderlands of Greene and Monroe counties are defined by a complex network of narrow hollows and winding creek beds. Small family cemeteries and rural congregations serve as the primary landmarks for this upland landscape, including Greene County Chapel Cem and the Keller Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as Richland Creek and Little Indian Creek, which create the sharp topographic relief of Lawrence Hollow.

Transportation follows the high ridges or the narrow valleys, with routes like N State Rd 43 and S Stanford Rd connecting the scattered settlements of Cincinnati and Elwren. This 2016 survey documents a rural environment where land use is dictated by the rugged geology, seen in the preservation of numerous small burial grounds like Solsberry Cem and Harmony Cem that remain tucked away near rural intersections.
