About this map

The Wolf Creek State Wildlife Area dominates the central landscape of this Morgan County region, where the deep dissection of the Allegheny Plateau is carved by the West Branch Wolf Creek and its many tributaries. This 1990s record of the terrain preserves the locations of several small ridge-top and valley settlements, including Ringgold, Mountville, and Elliott Crossroads. The map provides a detailed view of rural life through its numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Mt Olive Ch Cem and Pleasant Hill Ch Cem, which are essential for genealogical research in this part of Ohio.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered Gas Well and Gas Wells labels, indicating the region's long-standing connection to resource extraction. The boundary between the Congress Lands East of Scioto River Ohio Company Purchase and other survey districts is clearly delineated, reflecting the complex early land division history of the Old Northwest. In the northern reaches, the Wayne National Forest provides a backdrop to the winding Buck Run and West Fork.
