1905 Map of St. Clairsville
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The National Road serves as the primary east-west artery across this early twentieth-century landscape, passing through St. Clairsville and East Richland. The topography is defined by the deeply etched drainage basins of Short Creek, Wheeling Creek, and McMahon Creek, which dictate the paths of the region's prominent rail lines. The Wheeling and Lake Erie RR and the Cleveland Lorain and Wheeling RR follow the winding creek beds to serve industrial and agricultural outposts like Adena, Dunglen, and Maynard. Genealogists will find a network of small settlements and post offices such as Short Cr. P.O. and Emerson P.O., while family-named landmarks like Galloway Knob and Clark Hill provide specific geographical anchors for local heritage research in Belmont and Jefferson Counties.
