About this map

Summithill and the surrounding township terrain in Pike County are defined by a dense network of knobs and ridges that dictate the path of local commerce and travel. The Summithill Post Office sits as a central landmark, while the Atomic Speedway serves as a modern gathering point along the Blain Hwy. The landscape is etched with the courses of Pee Pee Creek and Left Fork Crooked Creek, which carve through the high ground of Potato Ridge and Prussia Ridge.

Genealogists will find a remarkably high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Asbury Chapel Cemetery near Denver and the Old German Number 1 Cemetery to the east. These sites, along with the Yankee Hill Cemetery and Seelig Cemetery, provide a clear view of the settlement patterns in this part of southern Ohio. From the northern cluster at Yankeetown to the southern reach of Buchanan, the map details a rural landscape where upland landmarks like Selby Knob and Gantz Knob overlook a web of creeks and local routes.
