About this map

Harrisville and the surrounding tri-county junction of Harrison, Jefferson, and Belmont counties define this landscape of deeply dissected ridges and narrow stream valleys. The terrain is a network of named ridges like Henderson Ridge and Campbell Ridge, interspersed with numerous small settlements such as New Athens, Science Hill, and Fairpoint. This area, heavily influenced by the regional coal industry, is dotted with infrastructure including the Consolidation Coal Company Dam 0107-0 and the Georgetown Plant Upper Supply Pond.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the centrally located Stiers Cem to the Friends Meeting House Cem near the eastern edge. The map captures the complex local road network, including Cadiz Harrisville Rd and Stumptown Rd, which connect historical hamlets like Duncanwood and Hammond Crossroad to larger centers like Adena. The drainage patterns of Short Creek and its many branches further illustrate the rural character of eastern Ohio.
