About this map

The Scioto River valley dominates this landscape, carving a wide path through the dissected hills of southern Ohio. Along its western banks and the surrounding ridges, the map reveals a high density of family-named landmarks and small burial grounds, including Russell Number 2 Cem, Howard Number 2 Cem, and Mount Zion Number 3 Cem. These features, alongside Rhymby Cem and Lauman Cem, provide a detailed look at the rural interment patterns and local genealogy of the region.

Settlement is concentrated along the river corridor and the primary transportation routes, with the village of Wakefield situated on the eastern bank while Coopersville and Clifford sit to the west. Further south, the map details the northern edge of Lucasville, including the Lucasville Cem. The rugged interior is defined by deep hollows such as Wildcat Hollow and Bean Hollow, separated by prominent elevations like Henderson Knob and the long stretch of McChesney Ridge. Industrial and logistical points such as the Hidden Quarry Airport near Crabtree reflect more modern land use amidst the traditional agricultural and wooded terrain.
