2013 Map of Waverly South

About this map

The Scioto River bends sharply through the northern reaches of this Pike County landscape, framing the southern limits of Waverly City and the neighboring community of Glen Jean. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its narrow valleys and persistent family-named hollows, such as Bandy Hollow and Jenkins Hollow, which cut through the high ground east of the river. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure surrounding Shyville and the Atomic Energy Commission Lake, a significant industrial footprint near the Little Beaver Cr. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous rural burial grounds, including the Evergreen Cem and Downing Cem. Settlements like Piketon and Zahns Corners serve as hubs along the local road network, connecting the river bottomlands to the wooded rises of Pine Knob and Sand Hill.
