2010 Map of West Alexandria

About this map

Twin Creek and its many tributaries, including Aukerman Creek and Bantas Fork, carve a path through this agricultural section of Preble County. The landscape is dotted with small settlements like West Alexandria, Gratis, and Wheatville, connected by a dense network of country roads including Quaker Trace Rd and Wayne Trace Rd. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, featuring over a dozen burial grounds such as the Sugar Hill German Baptist Cemetery and the Eikenberry-Wheatville Cemetery. A notable architectural landmark, the Roberts Covered Bridge, stands near Rocky Run, while the Preble County Fairgrounds sit on the outskirts of Eaton. The map also preserves the locations of several historic crossings, including Wolfs Ford and Guggs Ford, reflecting an era of local travel before modern infrastructure fully bridged these waterways.
