About this map

Symmes Creek winds through a landscape of sharp ridges and deep hollows in this 2013 survey, where the borders of Lawrence and Gallia counties meet. The area is defined by its small, scattered settlements like Waterloo, Arabia, and Lecta, which are connected by a network of rural routes such as State Rte 141 and State Rte 775. Large portions of the terrain are preserved within the Wayne National Forest, protecting the wooded slopes of Hog Back Ridge and Wilson Ridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named sites, particularly the numerous small burial grounds that dot the hillsides, including the Old Baptist Cem, Webster Cem, and Rucker Cem. The geography is intricately named, with colorful identifiers like Peckerwood Hollow, Tick Ridge, and Pigeon Knob indicating a long-established local vernacular. Recreation and water features are centered around Timber Ridge Lake and Payne Lake, while the eastern portion is drained by the Sand Fork.
