About this map

Captina Creek carves a deep valley through the center of this Belmont County landscape, where the small settlement of Armstrongs Mills serves as a focal point for the surrounding rural road network. The terrain is defined by prominent high points such as Cool Hill and elongated formations like Pugh Ridge and Dover Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of township roads. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Scatterday Cem and Centerville Cem, are situated on the higher ground overlooking the creek valleys.

Local history is preserved in the placement of small communities like Jacobsburg and Alledonia, which remain tied to the area's agricultural and topographical roots. The drainage system of Williams Creek, Bend Fork, and Pea Vine Creek further illustrates the complex drainage patterns that have shaped the development of this section of Ohio. The map records the persistence of traditional land divisions, marked by various township and range boundaries that continue to organize the rural landscape.
