2023 Map of Sugar Tree Ridge

About this map

Sugar Tree Ridge serves as a central landmark in this southwestern Ohio landscape, where the headwaters of several significant drainages converge. The map documents a rural region defined by its dispersed settlements and a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Carrier Cem and Van Winkle Cem. The terrain is carved by the Little West Fork Ohio Brush Creek and Plum Run, creating a rolling topography that influenced the placement of early homesteads and church-centered communities like East Danville and Emerald.
