About this map

The Scioto River defines the western valley of this Pike County landscape, where the town of Waverly and its adjacent communities of Waverly Place, Green Acres, and Glen Jean cluster along the riverbanks. The area is dense with family and community history, evidenced by a high concentration of burial grounds including Downing Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Barger Cemetery. To the south, the industrial and utility footprint of the mid-20th century is visible through the Atomic Energy Commission Lake and its associated dams near Shyville.

Moving east, the terrain transitions into a network of hollows and small settlements such as Zahns Corners, Givens, and Germany. Waterways like Big Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek wind through the hills, punctuated by local landmarks like Pine Lake and Pine Knob. The map provides a detailed look at the rural road network, from Beaver Pike to the winding tracks of Moats Hollow Rd, connecting isolated farmsteads and historic sites like Givens Chapel Cemetery and Mount Gilead Cemetery.
