About this map

Barnesville serves as the primary hub of activity in this Belmont County landscape, characterized by its concentrated industrial and civic infrastructure. The town is flanked by multiple religious and educational sites, including the Olney Sch and the historic Chestnut Ridge Meetinghouse. To the north, the County Childrens Home at Tacoma and the Memorial Park highlight the social development of the era.

Outside the municipal center, the land transitions to a resource-driven economy marked by numerous Strip Mine operations and scattered Gas Wells. Rural life is anchored by small settlements like Temperanceville, Somerton, and Boston, each connected by a network of winding roads and local watercourses like Leatherwood Creek and the North Fork Captina Creek. Notable landmarks such as the Howell Airport and a Drive-in Theater near Barnesville Reservoir provide a look at mid-to-late 20th-century recreational and transportation patterns.
