About this map

Strip Mines dominate the hillsides of Harrison County in this mid-century survey, creating a complex landscape where heavy industry meets rural settlement. The extensive network of the Penn Central and Norfolk and Western railroads serves the region's coal economy, connecting points like Pittsburgh Junction and Cadiz Junction. This infrastructure supports major operations such as Nelms Mine No 2 and Nelms Mine No 1.

Despite the industrial footprint, the map preserves the details of traditional community life. Local genealogy is anchored by sites like Mattern Cem, Beech Spring Cem, and the Childrens Home south of Cadiz. Smaller clusters such as Jewett, Hopedale, and Unionvale are mapped alongside rural landmarks like Bethel Ch and the Rexford Tunnel, illustrating a period when small-town Ohio was inextricably linked to the extraction of its natural resources.
