About this map

Sunday Creek flows through a landscape defined by its extractive industry and rail connectivity in this mid-century portrait of Athens County. The northern corridor is densely settled with mining-era towns like Glouster, Trimble, and Jacksonville, where a Township High Sch and numerous churches such as Queen of Heaven Ch served a concentrated population. The legacy of the coal industry is visible in the scattered Mine sites, Tipple locations, and extensive Tailings deposits along the valley floors.

Transportation networks are a central theme, showing the Conrail and Chesapeake And Ohio lines threading between the ridges. The map records several smaller communities like Millfield and Truetown, along with a traditional Covered Bridge on the Sunday Creek floodplain. From the Wayne National Forest boundaries to the rural cemeteries like Millfield Hilltop Cem and Brown Cem, the document preserves the spatial arrangement of a region shaped by both its natural resources and its civic institutions.
