About this map

The Pennsylvania railroad and the New York Chicago and St Louis line converge at Jewett, a village situated at the intersection of Harrison County’s early industrial and agricultural landscapes. This 1961 survey, updated with late-1970s land use revisions, documents a topography defined by extensive strip mines and coal-related infrastructure, including an unusual Pipeline (Coal) crossing through Nottingham and Stock townships.

Settlement patterns are deeply rooted here, visible in family-named markers like Lees Run Cem and the Asbury Chapel. The western edge is dominated by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District and the waters of Tappan Lake, which altered the drainage of Clear Fork and Standingstone Fork. From the County Fairground on the outskirts of Cadiz to the Tappan Airfield, the map preserves the mid-century footprint of a region balancing traditional hilltop farming with large-scale resource extraction.
