About this map

Scioto River dominates the eastern corridor of this landscape, its wide floodplain hosting the primary transportation routes and settlements of southeastern Ohio. The area is characterized by high, dissected ridges separated by numerous named hollows, including Wheeler Hollow, Starr Hollow, and Bean Hollow. These deep drainages feed into larger water bodies like Bear Cr and Camp Cr. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the valley floors, with small communities such as Coopersville, Wakefield, and Wetmore serving as local hubs.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, particularly in the density of numbered and named burial grounds. Features such as Mt Zion Number 3 Cem, Russell Number 2 Cem, and Merritt Cem are preserved on the higher ground. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Hidden Quarry Airport near Crabtree, while prominent terrain features like Henderson Knob and Campbell Hill provide significant local orientation points.
