1972 Map of Aid

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Symmes Creek winds through the heart of the Wayne National Forest in this early 1970s view of Lawrence County, where small agricultural settlements and extractive industries define the landscape. The map captures a transition in the local economy, showing numerous Strip Mines and scattered Gas Wells interspersed with rural schools and community centers like the Jr High Sch in Dobbston and Symmes Valley High Sch near Aid. Family history is deeply rooted in the terrain here, evident in the many named burial grounds such as Kingrey Cem and Zimmerman Cem. The transportation network is anchored by small hubs like Willow Wood and Scottown, while natural features like Greasy Ridge and Ellsworth Ridge dictate the placement of roads and homesteads above the creek valleys.
