2010 Map of West Portsmouth

About this map

Tremper Mound stands as a prominent landmark on the western terrace of the Scioto River, south of Rushtown. This 2010 survey illustrates the complex topography of Scioto County, where the river plain meets the dissected uplands of the Appalachian Plateau. The settlement pattern is defined by clusters like West Portsmouth and McDermott, connected by winding routes such as Tatman Arion Rd and Careys Run Pond Creek Rd. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Scioto Burial Park, Mershon-Swords Cemetery, and Lute Cemetery, are scattered across the ridges and hollows, offering a detailed map for genealogical research. The map also records the influence of local geography on industry and recreation, from the Book Siding rail feature to the Elks Country Club Dam.
