About this map

The Scioto River dominates the eastern corridor of this landscape, carving a wide valley that supports the primary transportation and settlement patterns near the southern border of Pike County. Communities such as Wakefield, Coopersville, and Wetmore are positioned along the river's path, while the western uplands are defined by a series of narrow hollows like Starr Hollow and Wheeler Hollow. The presence of numerous numbered burial sites, including Russell Number 2 Cemetery and Howard Number 2 Cemetery, suggests a long-standing pattern of rural family and community land use.

Water management and local industry are evident through features like Lake Frasure Dam and the industrial footprint of Martin Marietta. Genealogists will find a high density of named cemeteries throughout the terrain, from Mount Ettney Cemetery in the north to Rockwell Cemetery near Crabtree in the south, reflecting the distributed rural population that once relied on smaller settlements like Sedan and Camp.
