About this map

The Ohio River forms the northern boundary of this Lewis County landscape, where the settlement of Garrison sits at the junction of the CSX Transportation railroad and several local routes. To the west, Tannery marks a traditional point of trade along the winding path of Kinniconick Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of named hollows and ridges, such as Dummit Ridge and First Hollow, which reflect a history of small-scale agriculture and timber harvesting in the Appalachian foothills.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points throughout the hills. Numerous family burial sites and local grounds are scattered across the map, including the Bruce Family Graveyard, Brightman Cem, and Sullivan Cem. The presence of Old-Kinniconick Bed suggests the shifting nature of the local waterways over time, while landmarks like Round Top and Lost Hill provide fixed reference points for those tracing historical property lines and early settlement patterns.
