2019 Map of Gallia

About this map

Wayne National Forest covers much of this landscape at the intersection of Jackson, Gallia, and Lawrence counties. Small settlements and local landmarks are scattered throughout the hills, including Gallia, Blackfork, and the junction of Kitchen. The area is deeply marked by its hollows and ridges, such as Irish Hollow, Kokeene Hollow, and Dry Ridge. Genealogy researchers will find numerous family and community burial grounds, from Washington Cem and Poetker Cem to Sardis Cem and Thompson Cem. Waterways like the Black Fork, Cambria Cr, and Dirtyface Cr follow the winding topography, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the placement of early homesteads and roads like Old State Rte 75.
