2013 Map of West Portsmouth

About this map

Tremper Mound stands as a significant archaeological landmark near the banks of the Scioto River, illustrating the deep indigenous history that precedes the modern settlements of Scioto County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Scioto-Brush Creek, which flows past communities like McDermott and Rushtown before its confluence with the larger river. These valleys are densely populated with small family and community burial grounds, such as the Mershon Swords Cem, Lute Cem, and Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Cem, providing essential primary-source data for genealogists tracing local lineages.
