2013 Map of Fairview

About this map

The boundary between Guernsey Co and Belmont Co bisects this eastern Ohio landscape, where the ridges and valleys dictate the paths of early routes and local communities. In the village of Fairview, the Old National Rd traces a historical path eastward through Hendrysburg, paralleling the modern interstate corridor. The map reveals a dense network of family and community landmarks, including Gibson Cem and Sewellsville Cem, which sit atop the high ground overlooking drainages like Robinson Run and Indian Run. To the northeast, the shoreline of Piedmont Lake creates a distinct recreational and geographical boundary, while industrial land use is evidenced by the Consolidation Coal Company Pond 0010 to the southeast. These features, along with the Barnesville-Bradfield Airport, illustrate the continuing evolution of a region rooted in small-town settlement and resource management.
