2023 Map of Apple Grove
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The Ohio River carves a deep valley between Gallia County, Ohio, and Mason County, West Virginia, anchoring a landscape where riverbank settlements and upland ridges define the geography. On the West Virginia side, the bottomlands host communities like Apple Grove, Mercers Bottom, and Hogsett, while Raccoon Island sits prominently in the river channel near Bladen. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Bethel Methodist Episcopal Cem, Beale Chapel Cem, and Hereford Cem, providing a rich geographic record for genealogists. The terrain transitions sharply from the narrow floodplains to high interior points like Shoestring Ridge and Angel Ridge, with numerous creeks such as Flatfoot Creek and Sixteenmile Creek cutting through the hills to reach the main river. This modern survey also captures the Middle Ohio River Trail (Proposed) Trl running parallel to the water.
