About this map

Stoutsville serves as a primary rail hub in the northwest corner of this landscape, situated along the Southern Railway. The terrain transitions from the agricultural flats of W A S H I N G T O N and S A L T C R E E K townships into the rising elevations of Chestnut Ridge and Pumpkin Ridge. A network of historic thoroughfares, including the Zane Trail and Circleville Tarlton Road, connects small settlements like Leistville and Huntsville to the larger village of Tarlton.

Local history is preserved in the numerous rural burial grounds and meeting houses dotting the map, such as Maple Hill Cem and St Johns Ch. The presence of an Indian Mound near Tarlton and the County Infirmary to the west provides evidence of the area's long human occupation, from prehistoric times to the 19th-century social safety net. Waterways like Salt Creek and Scippo Creek dictate the layout of these communities, with Tarlton State Park preserving a segment of the valley.
