About this map

The National Road corridor defines the northern reaches of this Washington County landscape, connecting the borough of Claysville with the smaller settlement of Coon Island. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Robinson Fork, Dutch Fork, and Middle Wheeling Creek, which carve through the terrain of Donegal and East Finley townships. These valleys serve as the primary conduits for settlement and early industry, as evidenced by the numerous Gas Wells and occasional Oil Wells scattered across the hillsides.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks, such as the East West Finley Sch and St James Ch near its namesake St James Cem. The map provides detailed placement of family-named features like Mosier Hill and Sampson Hill, alongside several structures labeled Covered Bridge. The southwestern portion of the sheet features the rural community of Good Intent, situated near the confluence of Robinson Fork and Templeton Fork.
