2016 Map of Armstrongs Mills

About this map

Armstrongs Mills and the surrounding townships of Belmont County sit at the heart of a highly dissected plateau, where the winding course of Captina Creek and its many tributaries have carved deep valleys into the landscape. This 2016 survey highlights a region defined by scattered agricultural settlements and the industrial footprint of the Nacco Slurry Refuse Impoundment, signaling the enduring role of the mining industry in the area. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Scatterday and Perkins cemeteries, which are tucked away on high ridges far from the primary roads. From the village of Centerville in the north to Alledonia and Pugh Ridge in the south, the map illustrates how local geography and historical land patents, such as those in t5n r4w, continue to dictate the placement of roads like Armstrong Centerville Road.
