About this map

Sunfish Creek meanders through the central hills of Monroe County, defining a landscape of steep ridges and deep hollows. The county seat at Woodsfield serves as the primary hub, where the Fairgrounds and Woodsfield Airport sit on the flatter western plateau. Outside the town centers, the map reveals a dense network of rural landmarks, from the Immaculate Conception Ch at Ozark to isolated burial grounds like Hood Ridge Cem and Gillespie Cem.

Resource extraction and recreation are evident across the quadrangle, including a Strip Mine near Coats and numerous Gas Wells. Large tracts are dedicated to conservation, including a portion of the Wayne National Forest and the Monroe Lake State Wildlife Area. This era of the late twentieth century shows a landscape where traditional ridge settlements like Jerusalem and Beallsville persist alongside modern industrial infrastructure like the Pipelines crossing Piney Fork.
