About this map

The Ohio River forms the central artery of this landscape, separating the riverbank settlements of Crown City, Miller, and Athalia on the western shore from Millersport and Lesage in West Virginia. The river valley is flanked by the undulating hills of the Wayne National Forest, where a network of creek drainages like Indian Guyan Creek and Federal Creek cut through the terrain. The topography reveals a transition from the industrial and transport-heavy river corridor to more remote uplands marked by family cemeteries and forest roads.

Local history is preserved in the placement of rural landmarks such as Scottown Cem near Platform and the Ridge Cem overlooking Reeves Creek. The map documents contemporary planning through the Middle Ohio River Trail (Proposed) Trl, a route that follows the shoreline alongside Bay Bottom. Small water bodies like Pops Lake and diverse runs such as Goose Run further illustrate the watershed-dependent settlement patterns characteristic of the tri-state border region.
