About this map

The border between Ross and Pike Counties in southern Ohio defines this landscape of prominent peaks and deep hollows. The terrain is characterized by a series of distinct knobs, including Pinnacle Knob, Blackamore Knob, and Gantz Knob, which rise above winding waterways like Pee Pee Creek and Crooked Creek. These features suggest a topography that heavily influenced early settlement patterns and the winding paths of rural routes like Camelin Hill Rd and Clines Chapel Rd.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites scattered throughout the hills, from the centrally located Asbury Chapel Cem near Denver to more isolated sites such as Klutz Cem and Yankee Hill Cem. The map tracks the small communities of Summithill and Peck while showing the outskirts of Waverly in the southeast. Significant landmarks like Potato Ridge and Prussia Ridge offer a clear look at the region’s traditional land divisions and the enduring character of its rural church and cemetery network.
