2015 Map of Xenia

About this map

Xenia and the smaller settlement of Greendale anchor this 2015 study of the border between Marion and Clay counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Skillet Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Pickle Creek and Conners Branch. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents a high concentration of rural burial sites such as Edwards Family Cem, Salem Cem, and the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cemetery. These features, along with Smith Cem and Phillips Cem to the north, offer a clear picture of the historical community distribution across the township. The drainage patterns of Nickolson Creek and the presence of Greendale Lake illustrate the hydrology that influenced local development and road placement throughout the era.
