About this map

Shade River State Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Meigs County survey, where the Shade River and its numerous tributaries like Bigley Ridge Run carve through the landscape toward the Ohio River. The river's sharp bend at Long Bottom serves as a focal point for settlement, flanked by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad which tracks the shoreline past Murraysville and Portland. This era shows a community deeply rooted in its local geography, with numerous family-named landmarks such as Laucks Chapel Cem and Middleswart Cem marking the rural uplands.
