About this map

Barnesville serves as the primary hub of this 2010 landscape in western Belmont County, anchored by civic landmarks such as the Barnesville Post Office and the Belmont County Childrens Home. The terrain is deeply divided by the headwaters of Leatherwood Creek and the North Fork Captina Creek, a geography that dictated the placement of small agricultural settlements like Somerton, Boston, and Temperanceville.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of burial sites reflecting the area's Quaker and multi-denominational roots, including the Old Quaker Cemetery, Old Northern Cemetery, and the Chestnut Ridge Friends Cemetery near the Chestnut Ridge Meetinghouse. The map also details the critical water infrastructure of the era, from the historic Barnesville Lake to the significant engineering at Barnesville Reservoir Number Three Dam. Local aviation history is represented by Howell Airport, situated on the plateau between Slope Creek and Flag Run.
