1961 Map of Jewett

About this map

The industrial and rural landscape of Harrison County is recorded here during a period of significant land use transition. The northeastern corner is anchored by the rail junction at Jewett, where the Pennsylvania and New York Chicago and St Louis railroads converge. While the western edge is defined by the waters of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District at Tappan Lake, the interior of the quadrangle shows extensive surface mining activity. Large tracts are marked as Strip Mine or Strip Mines, cutting across the drainage of Standingstone Fork and Clear Fork. Local civic life is visible through landmarks like the Townhall, County Fairground, and several family-named burial sites such as Hines Cem and Lees Run Cem, which sit alongside established congregations like Asbury Chapel.
