About this map

The hills of eastern Ohio in the mid-1990s reveal a landscape defined by industrial extraction and small-town resilience. Deeply etched by Brushy Fork and Wheeling Creek, this area shows extensive Strip Mines that have fundamentally altered the topography between the townships of Nottingham and Athens. These massive operations dominate the space between established settlements like Flushing and Holloway, reflecting the region's long-standing economic reliance on coal.

Local heritage is anchored by rural landmarks such as Rankin Ch and Nottingham Ch, which stand alongside small crossroads like Rock Hill. The infrastructure of the late 20th century is further evidenced by a complex network of pipelines and the Harrison County Landing Strip to the north. Despite the industrial footprint, the map preserves the original character of the Harrison and Belmont County border, where the steep terrain dictates the winding paths of the roads and watercourses.
