About this map

The industrial and civic hub of Wellston anchors this southern Ohio landscape, surrounded by a dense network of smaller settlements and historical sites. Numerous small communities, such as Coalton, Glen Roy, Goldsboro, and Ironton Junction, speak to the region's coal and rail heritage. The landscape is marked by several hollows, including Grace Hollow and Eisnaugle Hollow, and drained by Pigeon Creek and Salt Lick Creek.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of burial grounds throughout the area, from the larger Ridgewood Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery near the city center to smaller family-named sites like Sullivan Cemetery, Campbell Cemetery, and Hale Cemetery. Public institutions like the Jackson County Fairground and Jackson County Home represent the civic heart of the county, while water features like Sickles Pond and the Ohnoname 21 Reservoir indicate the local hydrology and infrastructure of the early 21st century.
