2013 Map of West Elkton

About this map

West Elkton sits at the heart of this rural landscape where Preble and Butler counties meet, surrounded by a high density of ancestral burial grounds. This 2013 survey documents a series of established cemeteries, including Friends Cem, Fairmound Cem, and Patterson Cem, which suggest a long history of settlement along the local road network. The terrain is defined by the drainage of several small waterways, most notably Sevenmile Creek and Ninemile Cr, which flow through the southern portion of the map near Collinsville. To the east, the village of Jacksonburg marks the intersection of Jacksonburg Rd and Oxford Middletown Rd, while the northern region features the recreational waters of Rush Run Lake. The persistence of these small communities and their corresponding family-named cemeteries reflects the enduring agricultural character of this corner of Ohio.
