2010 Map of West Elkton

About this map

West Elkton serves as a central hub for this rural portion of Preble and Butler counties, defined by its Quaker heritage as evidenced by the Friends Cemetery. The landscape is a network of small agricultural settlements and family-named landmarks connected by a grid of historic roads like Wayne Trace Rd and Quaker Trace Rd. Several water bodies, including Rush Run Lake and Doughman Lake, interrupt the drainages of Elk Creek and Sevenmile Creek. To the south and east, the small communities of Collinsville, Jacksonburg, and Beechwood anchor their respective corners of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites scattered across the township lines, from the Patterson Cemetery in the north to the Scott Cemetery near the southern border, providing a clear record of local family history.
