About this map

Scio sits at the confluence of several valleys in the Harrison County hills, serving as a hub where the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad tracks follow the winding course of Conotton Creek. This late-twentieth-century update of a 1960s survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by resource extraction and commemorative history. To the east, New Rumley is marked by the Gen Custer Mon, noting the birthplace of the famous cavalry commander.

The surrounding terrain is a complex network of ridges and narrow valleys, such as the Dining Fork and McGuire Creek, dotted with local landmarks like Arabian Cem and Woodpecker Cem. The map reveals the industrial footprint of the region through numerous Oil Wells and visible Strip Mines north of the Harrison-Carroll county line. Water management and recreation are evident at the western edge with Leesville Lake and the smaller Stony Lake, while the local infrastructure includes a series of named pipelines carrying coal and gas through the rural townships.
