Scioto County, Logging pass, clear cutting except for one old stand at the top of one ridge.
Its painful to know that scioto, adam’s counties twin, is suffering a similar fate to what happened in Hamilton County in the early 1800′s hillsides quarried off and old growth oak stands removed for at least another 300 years. Im glad most of Adam’s county is protected.
Hamilton co, specifically Cincinnati, was subject to being a frontier and fort city in the late 1700′s and because of this it’s been modified for war, fortification, and agricultural wine production. Nothing is left of the plateau’s in Cincinnati, no sandstone, no dolomite, no nothing.
Highland ave 1910, small remnant of dolomite top is left.

Adam’s Scioto Brown and Hamilton were all subject to logging campaigns in separate war progressions, only recently have the open oak flat lands/ savanna been associated with growth in Adam’s county.
Here is some classic sad, Hamilton co. notes about our plateau surfaces.

If you live in Ohio, and want to preserve land, live in Adam’s county, it’s still considered high quality intact habitat for 85% of the county.
