1994 Map of Bens Run

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Middle Island Creek winds in a tight, serpentine path through the center of this map, creating a distinct landscape of isolated ridges and alluvial bottoms. On the western edge, the Ohio River serves as the industrial and transport corridor, home to Lock and Dam No 16 and the settlement of Bens Run. The presence of the Salt Evaporator Res near the riverbank highlights the region's historical reliance on mineral extraction and brine processing. Inland, the rugged terrain is defined by a series of parallel heights such as Federal Ridge and Oak Grove Ridge, where small communities and family landmarks are concentrated. Genealogists will find numerous rural burial grounds and places of worship, including Oak Grove Ch and Bibbys Cem, which represent the spiritual and social foundations of the area's late 20th-century rural life.
