About this map

Ryerson Station and the surrounding township lands at the southern edge of the Washington County line define this part of the Appalachian Plateau. The landscape is characterized by the complex drainage systems of the Dunkard Fork, specifically where the North Fork Dunkard Fork meets the South Fork Dunkard Fork near the Ryerson Station Reservoir. This area has long served as a rural nexus for small farming communities like Wind Ridge, Enon, and Graysville.

Local history is preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Jacksonville Cem, Zollars Cem, and Lazear Cem, which are scattered among the ridges. The intricate road network, including Nebo Ridge Rd and Gunn Ridge Rd, follows the high ground between hollows like Polly Hollow and Zimmerman Hollow, illustrating a settlement pattern dictated by the steep, dissected terrain of Greene County.
