About this map

Wayne National Forest land defines the northwest corner of this region, where the terrain breaks into the winding drainages of Sharps Fork Federal Cr and Wolf Cr. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, dispersed communities including Ringgold, Rosseau, and Elliott Crossroads, connected by a network of township and county roads that follow the ridges and hollows.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, such as Pisgah Methodist Protestant Cem and Mount Olive Cem, which often serve as the primary markers for these rural neighborhoods. To the south, Mountville sits near the headwaters of Miners Fork, while the eastern portion of the map near Westland is drained by Goshen Cr. The map captures the persistent rural character of Morgan County in the mid-2010s, showing the intersection of agricultural holdings and protected forest land.
