About this map

The Ohio River defines the southern reach of this 2011 survey, where the riverfront communities of Pomeroy, Middleport, and Clifton remain the primary centers of population and commerce. This particular stretch is marked by the Pomeroy Bend and several key transit landmarks, including the Pomeroy-Mason Toll Bridge and the Pomeroy-Mason Seaplane Base. Beyond the immediate river valley, the terrain is characterized by a network of hollows such as Loudermilk Hollow and Bone Hollow, while smaller settlements like Thomas Village and Bradbury occupy the level ground between these ridges.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Hiland Cemetery, Austin Cemetery, and Rock Springs Cemetery. These sites, often situated near family-named landmarks like Horner Hill, reflect the long-standing settlement patterns of Meigs County. The presence of the Meigs County Fairgrounds near Rock Springs indicates a region where agricultural heritage and civic gathering remain central to community life.
