About this map

The city of Sumner anchors the western edge of this Lawrence County landscape, where the terrain transitions from the heights of Red Hill down toward the bottomlands of Muddy Creek. To the east, the neighboring community of Bridgeport is defined by a dense street grid including W Franklin St and Madison St. The intervening countryside is deeply etched by a network of waterways, most notably Raccoon Creek, Indian Creek, and Crab Apple Creek, which have shaped the local agricultural and settlement patterns for generations.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey is particularly dense with burial sites, many associated with early family names or small congregations. From the Sumner Cem and Hopewell Cem in the north to the Immaculate Conception Catholic Cem and Denison Cem further south, these sites provide a vital record of the area's rural heritage. The rural road network, featuring names like Union Chapel Rd, connects these cemeteries with scattered farmsteads across the undulating terrain between Shirley Creek and Seed Creek.
