About this map

The winding course of Fish Creek defines the lower half of this landscape, carving deep loops through the hills of Marshall County. Small river-bottom settlements like Meighen, Lynn Camp, and Adaline punctuate the narrow valleys, connected by backroads that follow the water. In the northern reaches, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor follows Grave Creek, serving the community of Glen Easton and passing the distinctive landmark at Rosbys Rock.

High ridges such as Backbone Ridge and Fallen Timber Ridge provide the structural framework for the region's dispersed upland farms. The map documents a landscape of traditional rural institutions, including the Lower Bane Sch, Salem Ch, and Mt Zion Ch. This mid-century survey also records the proliferation of resource extraction, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the eastern slopes near Dixon Ridge.
