1961 Map of Gallia

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Wayne National Forest covers much of this landscape in southern Ohio, where the hills are marked by a deep history of coal and clay extraction. The map reveals numerous Claypits and a Strip Mine scattered throughout the rugged drainage basins of Black Fork and Dirtyface Creek. Small settlements and rail junctions like Blackfork Junction and Kitchen are connected by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line, which served the area's industrial needs. Local heritage is centered around family and community landmarks, including the Old Country Tabernacle, Mt Herman Ch, and several cemeteries such as Washington Cem and McColgan Cem. The presence of the Telegraph Hill Lookout Tower suggests the elevation and strategic oversight required for managing the surrounding timberlands during this era.
