2019 Map of Wheelersburg

About this map

Wheelersburg and its surrounding communities along the Ohio River reflect the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Scioto County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Pine Creek and a dense network of hollows, including Riepenhoff Hollow and Germany Hollow, which carve through the rising terrain toward the Wayne National Forest. For genealogists, the map is an exceptionally rich resource, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds such as the Old Wheelersburg Cem, Memorial Burial Park, and the Old Dutch Cem. The concentration of settlements like Allentown, Sand Hill, and Garden City along Gallia Pike illustrates the historical corridor of development between the riverbank and the interior ridges. Moving south, the map details the transition into Highland Park and Powellsville, where the Powellsville Baptist Cem marks the local social and spiritual center for rural residents.
