About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor anchors this 1960s study of Marshall County, winding through the sharp valley of Grave Creek past the village of Rosbys Rock. To the south, the deep, meandering oxbows of Fish Creek define the geography near settlements like Meighen, Lynn Camp, and Adaline. The landscape is a complex network of narrow ridges and hollows, where family-named landmarks such as Shoestring Ridge, Roberts Ridge, and Games Ridge separate the various watersheds.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible throughout the terrain, including numerous Oil Well sites in the eastern districts and a network of pipelines traversing the ridges. Rural life is documented through scattered landmarks such as Salem Ch, Nauvoo Ch, and the Lower Bone Sch, providing a detailed look at the community structure in the mid-20th century before significant modern development altered these small Appalachian valleys.
