About this map

Teays Valley forms the central corridor of this Putnam County survey, defined by the industrial and transport infrastructure of the late 1950s. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and the Midland Trail run parallel through the heart of the valley, supporting settlements at Teays and Scott Depot. The landscape transitions from the concentrated residential developments and water features like Teays Valley Lakes to the deeply dissected ridges of the surrounding hills.

Rural life is anchored by a dense network of local institutions, including Johnstons Ch and Big Scary Sch. The inclusion of a TV Tower (WCHS) and various Pipeline segments reflects the mid-century modernization of this Appalachian landscape. Waterways such as Poplar Fork and Hurricane Creek snake through the terrain, while the 1971 purple revisions highlight the encroaching suburban growth near Sleepy Hollow and the local Golf Course.
