About this map

Waynesburg serves as the central hub of this 1904 survey, situated near the confluence of Tenmile Creek and the South Fork Tenmile Creek. The landscape is defined by the steep valleys of Greene County, where the Monongahela River forms the northeastern boundary, supporting riverfront settlements like Rices Landing and Clarksville. Small hamlets such as Lippincott, Jefferson, and Khedive are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the winding paths of Pumpkin Run and Muddy Creek.

Surveyors Frank Sutton and H. M. Wilson documented a terrain heavily influenced by its drainage patterns, with the southern reaches of the quadrangle featuring Whiteley Creek and Dunkard Creek. The map captures the region at a time when the rural economy was tied to these watercourses and local post offices, including Oak Forest and Davistown, provided the primary social anchors for the surrounding agricultural and mining communities.
