2010 Map of Flushing

About this map

Flushing stands as a central hub in this Harrison County landscape, where the legacy of regional resource extraction is clearly etched into the terrain. The presence of the Little Valley Mine and Franklin Number 65 Mine alongside numerous industrial impoundments, such as the Consolidation Coal Company Pond 0110, highlights a 21st-century topography shaped by coal operations. This industrial footprint is balanced by a dense network of local-history sites, including the Rankin Methodist Episcopal Cemetery near Cassville and the Flushing Township Cemetery. The map captures a transition between heavy industry and civic infrastructure, evidenced by the Harrison County Airport and the complex of reservoirs like Brushy Fork Reservoir Number Seven that manage the region's watersheds. This document serves as a detailed record of the geography surrounding the Flushing Post Office, documenting the intersection of rural settlements and the infrastructure of the Ohio coalfields.
