2019 Map of Fairview

About this map

Fairview and Hendrysburg anchor this topographical study of the border between Guernsey and Belmont Counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp dissected plateaus of eastern Ohio, where drainage systems like Skull Fork and Spencer Cr have carved deep valleys into the terrain. Smaller settlements such as Sewelsville, Cabinet, and the evocative Sixteen Valley are connected by a network of township roads and county highways that trace the ridgelines. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Old Egypt Cem near the community of Egypt and the Gibson Cem further south. Near the southern edge, the Barnesville-Bradfield Airport represents a modern navigational landmark amidst a largely rural area. The northern reaches are shaped by the shoreline of Piedmont Lake, illustrating how the region's water management and recreation infrastructure integrate with the established rural road system.
