About this map

Gravity and the surrounding rural townships of Holt, Grove, Washington, and Marshall are defined by the winding hydrology of the One Hundred and Two River system. This 1980 survey reveals the complex drainage of the Middle Fork One Hundred and Two River, the Middle Branch One Hundred and Two River, and the main One Hundred and Two River as they carve through the Taylor County landscape.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground between these waterways, anchored by small communities like Sharpsburg and the hamlet of Bushville. Evidence of historical infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and a modern Pipeline cutting across the southeastern corner. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for Washington Cem and Grove Cem, while the town site of Conway appears at the bottom edge of the sheet.
