About this map

Macksburg and Dexter City anchor the southern reaches of this landscape where the Noble Co Washington Co boundary line meets the winding waters of West Fork Duck Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of narrow valleys and ridges, with small settlements like South Olive, Moundsville, and Middleburg tucked into the drainage basins of Buffalo Run and Otterslide Run. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history sites, including the Harris Cem, McGinnis Cem, and several Macksburg Cems.

The presence of a Strip Mine in the northern portion of Stock township and various Gas Well markers suggest a landscape shaped by resource extraction. The orientation of the villages and rural roads follows the natural flow of the creeks, while a significant Pipeline cuts across the northern ridges near Fulda. Local landmarks such as the Ogden Ridge Ch and the high point at Gem provide orientation among the numerous runs and forks that define this part of southeastern Ohio.
