2016 Map of Summerfield

About this map

Summerfield serves as the central hub of this eastern Ohio landscape, situated at the junction of several county routes and historically significant ridge roads. The topography is defined by deeply carved stream valleys and prominent landforms such as Lexington Ridge and Ranker Knob, which dictate the winding paths of rural thoroughfares like the Miltonsburg Calais Rd. The map reveals a dense concentration of lineage markers, including the Whigville Cem, Aaron Cem, and the remote Swazey Methodist Cem located near the southern border of the Wayne National Forest. Drainage patterns are complex, with the Seneca Fork Wills Creek flowing toward Senecaville Lake in the north, while the Clear Fork Little Muskingum River navigates the southern reaches. Small, scattered settlements like Calais, Brister, and Steamtown are connected by a network of hollow roads, such as Brownfield Hollow Rd and Crawford Hollow Rd, reflecting a traditional Appalachian plateau settlement pattern.
