About this map

The winding course of Raccoon Creek dictates the geography of this Gallia County landscape, where the Wayne National Forest covers much of the southern terrain. This survey reveals a community defined by its smaller watercourses like Chickamauga Creek and Mud Creek, which cut through the ridges near settlements such as Northup and Adamsville. Evidence of the region’s extractive history is visible in the numerous Strip Mines and Clay Pits scattered across the hillsides, particularly around Rodney.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several landmarks, including the Centenary Cem, Hulbert Cem, and the Green Sch near Centenary. The presence of the Blanics Siding and Blessing Bridge highlights the transportation infrastructure that once connected these rural townships. From the upland heights of Poplar Knob to the recreational spaces of Raccoon Creek County Park, the map documents a transition between active resource extraction and protected forest land.
