About this map

Wayne National Forest anchors the western edge of this river-valley landscape, where the Ohio River forms a wide natural border between Ohio and West Virginia. Small riverside settlements like Swan Creek and Glenwood dot the banks, while the interior is defined by a complex network of hollows and ridges, including Big Hill Hollow and Webb Hollow. The terrain is deeply inscribed with family and local history, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Mt Zion Cem and the Swan Creek Methodist Episcopal Cem.

Transportation patterns reflect the area's industrial and rural needs, from the Clover Railroad Overpass near Clover to the winding roads like Hannan Trace Rd that follow the topography. Waterways like Guyan Creek and Eighteenmile Creek drain the dissected plateau, creating the distinct ridges where landmarks like Big Four Hill and Barker Ridge Cem are situated, providing a clear view of the early 21st-century rural infrastructure.
