About this map

Barnesville serves as the primary hub in this corner of Belmont County, where established street grids like W Main St and E Main St contrast with the winding rural routes of the surrounding townships. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Leatherwood Cr and Beaver Cr, which are punctuated by a series of engineered water bodies like Barnesville Reservoir Number Two and Barnesville Reservoir Number Three. These reservoirs reflect the mid-century infrastructure needs of the growing village and its neighboring hamlets.

Local history is deeply etched into the countryside through numerous small settlements and burial grounds. Genealogists can trace family lines through sites like Stillwater Cem near Tacoma or the Old Quaker Cem in Somerton. The map also reveals the rural layout of places such as Baileys Mills, Temperanceville, and Boston, showing a region where agricultural land was carefully partitioned into sections while maintaining its traditional community centers.
