About this map

Ryerson Station State Park dominates the southern landscape of this Greene County survey, where the South Fork and North Fork meet at the Ryerson Station settlement. The terrain is defined by a dense network of branching runs and creeks, including Enlow Fork and Crabapple Creek, which carved the steep hollows and ridges that dictated early settlement patterns.

Rural life in the mid-20th century is evident through the numerous country churches and family-named cemeteries that dot the hillsides, such as Union Valley Ch and Zollars Cem. The community of Wind Ridge serves as a central hub, notably featuring the Jacktown Fairgrounds. The map also reveals the industrial footprint of the era, with numerous gas wells and compressor stations scattered throughout the townships of West Finley, East Finley, and Gray.
