About this map

Summerfield serves as the primary hub in this portion of Noble County, where the Summerfield Post Office stands near the intersection of several local routes. The landscape is defined by its high ridges and deep-cut drainage, with Lexington Ridge, Bracken Ridge, and Curtis Ridge partitioning the territory between the Seneca Fork Wills Creek and the Clear Fork Little Muskingum River. The area maintains a strong agricultural and industrial presence, evidenced by the Dimmerling Dairy Farm in the south and Christman Quarry located near the small settlement of Swazey.

Genealogists will find a significant density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Bethesda Cemetery, Glady Cemetery, and Hannah Cemetery. The map also documents smaller rural communities including Whigville, Steamtown, and Doherty. These clusters of homes and churches, like the Swazey Methodist Cemetery, reflect the early 21st-century rural character of these Ohio highlands before further modern development changed the local road network.
