About this map

Leading Creek carves a winding path through this portion of Meigs County, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape dotted with small hamlets and numerous family burial grounds. The industrial footprint of the region is centered on the Meigs Mine Number One, which includes a dedicated Water Supply Reservoir to support operations. Settlements such as Harrisonville, Langsville, and Dexter are connected by a network of rural routes including Oh-124 and Cleland Hill Rd, reflecting a traditional Appalachian Ohio settlement pattern where homes and small post offices follow the narrow valley floors.

Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries throughout the hills, including Persoles Cem, Vonschritz Cem, and the Longstretch Cemetery. These sites, often located on high ground like Coy Hill Cem, provide a detailed record of the families who established farms along Malloons Cr and Jessie Creek. The transition from Meigs into Gallia County to the south is marked by the t7n r15w and t5n r14w township boundaries, showcasing the persistent importance of the Public Land Survey System in defining local property and political lines.
