2019 Map of Harrisville

About this map

Harrisville and New Athens anchor this portrait of the Eastern Ohio countryside, where the deep-cut valleys of the Short Cr and Wheeling Cr watersheds define the settlement pattern. The landscape is a complex mix of agricultural tradition and industrial legacy, evidenced by the extensive water management systems of the Consolidation Coal Company Pond 0107. Throughout the terrain, numerous ridge-top cemeteries such as Olive Branch Cem, Unity Cem, and the Friends Meeting House Cem offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in Harrison and Belmont Counties. From the northern edge near Cadiz to the southern cluster of Fairpoint and Maynard, the map documents a network of rural hamlets including Shepherdstown, Duncanwood, and Science Hill, each connected by a winding system of township and county roads that follow the natural contours of Branson Ridge and Henderson Ridge.
