USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
New Marshfield and The Plains anchor this early 1960s study of Athens County, where the landscape is defined by the winding tributaries of Margaret Creek. The topography reflects a rural economy transitioning between agriculture and resource extraction, evidenced by scattered oil wells and a Strip Mine in the township of Alexander. Transportation corridors are well-established, with the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads cutting through the hills to serve local coal and timber interests.
