1994 Map of Caldwell South

About this map

The Conrail line follows the valley of West Fork Duck Creek in this portion of southeastern Ohio, where the terrain is marked by a legacy of resource extraction and rural settlement. Extensive Strip Mine operations are visible across the hillsides of Sharon and Olive townships, contrasted by the quiet presence of numerous family and community burial grounds such as Noyes Cem, Manchester Cem, and Sailor Cem. The village of Caldwell serves as a local hub near the Fairgrounds, while smaller named communities like Rich Valley, Keith, and Dudley anchor the surrounding creek forks. The landscape is a network of water and ridges, including Old Tom Ridge and Coffee Knob, where many Gas Well and Oil Well sites are scattered amongst the timbered slopes and narrow valleys of Olive Green Creek and Sharon Fork.
