1994 Map of Fairview

About this map

Egypt Valley dominates the northern landscape of this region, characterized by extensive Strip Mine operations and industrial land use alongside the conservation efforts of the Egypt Valley State Wildlife Area. This corner of Ohio at the Guernsey and Belmont county line reveals a landscape of reclamation and recovery, where former mining pits sit adjacent to the protected waters of Piedmont Lake and the Kirkwood State Wildlife Area. Traditional rural settlements like Sewellsville, Hendrysburg, and Fairview are clustered along the arterial roads, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle feature the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds including Fairview Cem and Hope Cem, reflecting the generations who worked the mines and farms of Oxford and Warren townships.
