About this map

Salt Creek and Rich Hill townships define this eastern Ohio landscape during the final decade of the 20th century. The region is marked by a complex network of narrow ridges and stream valleys, including White Eyes Creek, Georges Run, and the Williams Fork. Significant portions of the southern terrain are preserved within Blue Rock State Forest, while the northern portion is bisected by the modern corridor of I-70.

The settlement pattern reflects a long history of rural community life, anchored by small hubs like Chandlersville, Norwich, and Bridgeville. Numerous family and community landmarks, such as Smith Mill, Perry Sch, and Rock Spring Cem, provide clear reference points for those tracing local lineages or regional development. A notable surveyor's Base Line crosses the center of the map, separating the United States Military District from the Congress Lands, a detail of particular interest to land-title researchers.
