2011 Map of Corning

About this map

Sunday Creek flows through a landscape defined by small settlements and resource management at the edge of the Appalachian plateau. The southern reach of the map is dominated by the Burr Oak Reservoir, a major water body created by the Tom Jenkins Dam and surrounded by the protected grounds of Burr Oak State Park. This reservoir system, including facilities like Boat Dock Number 1 and Burr Oak Lodge, fundamentally altered the local drainage of Miners Fork and Smith Run. Further north, the legacy of industrial and municipal development is visible in features like the New York Central Reservoir Dam and the Sunday Creek Coal Company Pond. These basins provided the necessary water infrastructure for the mining and rail operations that once anchored towns like Corning, Glouster, and the village of Rendville. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies numerous local burying grounds including Maplewood Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and the Conn Church Cemetery.
