About this map

Wellston and Jackson anchor this 2016 survey of Jackson County, where the industrial and transport history of the region is written into the landscape. The geography is defined by a dense network of small settlements and junction points like Ironton Junction, Glen Roy, and Coalton. These communities are connected by a web of local roads and the legacy of the rail lines, evident in street names like Railroad St.

Family and community history is exceptionally well-preserved through numerous small burial grounds, including the Sullivan Cem, Licks Cem, and Keenan Cem, which dot the hillsides between Dickason Run and Meadow Run. Water management is prominent in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, featuring the Banquet Foods Reservoir and the numbered Ohnoname 20, Ohnoname 21, and Ohnoname 22 reservoirs, reflecting the area's modern utility alongside its deep-rooted rural character.
