The boundary between Lucas Co and Monroe Co bisects a landscape defined by deeply carved creek valleys and a high density of rural burial grounds. Small communities like Weller and Bucknell are interspersed among a network of family and community landmarks, including Saint Marys Cem, O'Brien Cem, and Stoneking Cem. This terrain is drained by several meandering waterways such as North Cedar Creek, Sage Cr, and Whites Cr, which have shaped the local topography into a series of ridges and draws. These physical features historically dictated the placement of pioneer roads like Co RD h20 and Co RD h32. The presence of numerous smaller cemeteries like Foutch Cem and Manley Cem suggests a long-settled rural population that utilized the high ground between the various branches of Whippoorwill Cr for both homesteads and memorial sites.
