2013 Map of Hunter

About this map

New Castle and Hunter serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this part of Belmont County, where narrow roads follow the ridgelines and creek beds. The landscape is defined by the deep dissection of the Captina Creek watershed, with the North Fork and South Fork drawing a complex web of drainage including Jakes Run, Mikes Run, and Berrys Run. Local history is anchored by numerous small burial grounds such as Chestnut Level Cem and Pleasant Ridge Cem, often situated near high points like Sandy Ridge. The map illustrates a rural economy reliant on traditional land use, exemplified by the Bailey Dairy Farm and the Bethesda Sportsmans Club Pond. A network of township roads, including New Castle Rd and Belmont Ridge Rd, connects these upland communities across the varied topography of Reeves Hollow.
