USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Plains stands as the primary settlement on this landscape where the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads converge. The topography is defined by the winding course of Margaret Creek and its many tributaries, which carve through ridges such as Gowler Ridge and Vore Ridge. In the early 1960s, this area of Athens County maintained a distinct balance between agricultural valley life and burgeoning industrial footprints, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells, a Gas Well, and a Strip Mine near Fisher.
