About this map

Bentleyville and the surrounding Washington County countryside are defined by a complex network of creeks and early industrial infrastructure. The landscape is bisected by the Mingo Cr and Pigeon Cr drainage systems, where local history remains visible through preserved crossings like the Henry Covered Bridge and the Ebenezer Covered Bridge. These landmarks stand alongside evidence of the region's mining and transportation history, including the Thomas Tunnel and the specifically named Mine Number Sixty Reservoir. Small rural settlements such as Munntown, Gilkeson, and Vanceville are scattered across the terrain, often anchored by community sites like the Munntown Cem or the Pigeon Creek Cem. The transition from agrarian roots to modern utility is evidenced by the presence of local aviation facilities like the Bandel Airport and the Finleyville Airpark near the northern border.
