2002 Map of Dalzell

About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates this section of southeast Ohio, where the winding drainage of Pawpaw Creek and Fifteenmile Creek defines the landscape. The map reveals a deeply etched topography of ridges like Sowery Ridge and numerous small hollows that once supported a network of dispersed communities and hilltop cemeteries. Genealogical interest is concentrated in sites such as Zion Ch (Cem) and Master Ch (Cem), which reflect the 19th-century settlement patterns of Washington and Noble counties. Significant landmarks include the Hune Covered Bridge and its adjacent Hune Bridge Canoe Access on the Little Indian Run. The map also illustrates the region's industrial footprint, showing scattered Gas Well sites and Strip Mines along the northern reaches of Duck Creek, indicating a land where timber, energy extraction, and small-scale farming have long coexisted.
