2016 Map of New Lexington

About this map

The seat of Perry County, New Lexington, serves as a focal point for this survey of the northern Appalachian foothills. The town's grid is characterized by religious and community history, with several burial grounds such as the First Methodist Church Cem and Old Baptist Church Cem situated near the center. To the south and west, the landscape transitions into the wooded ridges of the Wayne National Forest, where topography is defined by features like Bristol Ridge and Skinner Ridge. The economy of the era is represented by the Perry County Airport and various water resources, including the New Lexington Water Supply Reservoir and the Sunnyhill Slurry Impoundment. Surrounding hamlets like Moxahala, McCuneville, and Rehoboth are linked by a network of rural roads such as Hollow Rd and Old Somerset Rd, following the winding paths of Moxahala Cr and Monday Cr.
