About this map

Wayne National Forest terrain borders the Ohio River in this 2019 survey, illustrating the complex geography where Gallia County, Ohio, meets West Virginia. The river corridor is defined by features like Cottonwood Bar and the proposed Middle Ohio River Trail, while the settlement of Glenwood serves as a local focal point near the bank. Moving inland, the landscape is deeply dissected by drainages such as Eighteenmile Creek and Guyan Creek, creating a network of ridges and hollows that historically dictated settlement patterns.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across these uplands, including Union Ridge Cem, Swan Creek Methodist Episcopal Cem, and the remote McCoy Starkey Cem. Small communities and named locales like Swan Creek, Clover, and Gwinn are interconnected by a dense web of rural routes such as Huntington RD and Sandy Ridge RD. From Big Four Hill to Dudley Gap, the map documents the persistent rural character of this tri-county border region.
