About this map

The county seat of New Lexington serves as the industrial and civic anchor for this part of Perry County, surrounded by a landscape defined by resource extraction and early educational institutions. The map details the prominent St Aloysius Academy and the local Fairgrounds, while the surrounding hills of Clayton and Pike townships are marked by extensive strip mines and scattered gas wells. These features illustrate the deep-seated connection between the local economy and the region's geology.

Rural life is anchored by smaller settlements such as Mainsville, Bristol, and Rehoboth, many of which were historically linked by rail as evidenced by Bristol Sta. Significant public lands, including portions of the Perry State Forest and the Wayne National Forest, dominate the southern and western sections. Cultural landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and Artheusa Springs Park offer a view into the mid-century recreational life of this Appalachian plateau community.
