1959 Map of Dellroy

About this map

Atwood Lake and Leesville Lake dominate this eastern Ohio landscape, both part of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. Managed for flood control and recreation, these reservoirs are surrounded by a mix of wooded hills and active resource extraction. The village of Dellroy sits prominently at the head of a southern bay of Atwood Lake, while the larger community of Sherrodsville anchors the southwestern corner of the sheet. Between these settlements, the topography is marked by numerous industrial signatures, including an extensive network of strip mines, oil wells, and pits, reflecting the regional reliance on the coal and petroleum industries. Rural life remains visible through numerous country churches and historic burial grounds such as Union Valley Ch, Seceders Cem, and Macedonia Cem. Extensive transportation infrastructure like the Old Railroad Grade and several regional pipelines cut across Baxter Ridge, following the terrain carved by Indian Fork and Huff Run.
