USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The convergence of West Fork Duck Creek and East Fork Duck Creek near Lower Salem anchor this landscape during a period of infrastructure revision. The topography of Washington and Noble Counties is deeply etched by watercourses like Pawpaw Creek and Bear Creek, which historically dictated the paths of the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. Settlement patterns in the early 1970s remained tied to these valley corridors, while the presence of a strip mine and several oil wells signifies the region's extractive activity.
