About this map

Tarlton Cross Mound serves as a prominent archaeological landmark on this landscape, situated near the intersection of Fairfield Co and Pickaway Co. The surrounding area is defined by a high concentration of local burial grounds, ranging from family-named sites like Spengler Cem and Dresbach Cem to church-affiliated plots such as Heidelberg Reform Cem and Saint Pauls Evangelical Cem. These features reflect a deeply rooted agricultural community organized around small settlements like Stoutsville, Tarlton, and Leistville.

The terrain is drained by a network of waterways including Scippo Cr and Salt Cr, with prominent rises at Chestnut Ridge and Pumpkin Ridge. The road network, including the Stoutsville Pike and Old Tarlton Pike, connects these rural townships, providing a clear view of the region's 21st-century development patterns while preserving the locations of 19th-century church and cemetery sites essential for genealogical research.
