About this map

Bowerston and the surrounding hills of Harrison and Carroll Counties are defined by the winding course of Conotton Creek and the expansive waters of Leesville Lake. This region of eastern Ohio maintains a landscape of scattered rural settlements connected by the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway, which follows the valley floor through Conotton and Sherrodsville. The map reveals a dense network of family history markers, including numerous small burial grounds such as Heller Cem and Plum Run Top Cem that dot the high ridges.

Industrial activity is noted at a Gravel Pit near the village of Leesville, while the local social fabric is represented by the Leesville Sch and the Po in New Hagerstown. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations like Gundy Ridge, which separates the various runs and creeks feeding into the larger reservoir system. This map captures the intricate balance between small-town infrastructure and the natural drainage patterns of the Conotton valley.
