WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

  • National Register of Historic Places—Section #8 Northern Pacific Story Mill Historic District
    National Register of Historic Places—Section #8 Northern Pacific Story Mill Historic District Narrative Statement of Significance: The Northern Pacific/Story Mill Historic District is historically significant for its association with Bozeman's steady economic and demographic evolution during its Village, Civic, Progressive and Nationalization phases of development.1 In particular, the district's resources are representative of the fundamental role that the Northern Pacific and, later, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroads played in this dynamic process of historical change. As the undisputed transportation hub of southwestern Montana's impressive agricultural economy, the Northern Pacific/Story Mill Historic District is reflective of broad historic patterns of commerce, travel, and settlement, and, therefore, qualifies for National Register listing according to criterion A. The district also meets criterion B for its associations with Bozeman area capitalist Nelson Story Sr. and, to a lesser extent, his decedents. Finally, the district qualifies for the Register under criterion C as a representation of standardized transportation technology, engineering, and architecture during the period of significance as well as for the design influence of Fred Willson, a regionally important architect. Overview Bozeman's steady growth from the time of its settlement in 1863 through World War II is largely attributable to three significant factors: the tremendous fertility of the Gallatin Valley, the economic influence of the Nelson Story family, and the presence of the Northern Pacific and the Milwaukee Railroads. The geographic nexus for these interrelated influences was the Northern Pacific/Story Mill Historic District--the earliest and most active commercial/industrial center in the region.

Kuchta Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Mark Weinberg Dean, Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs 3 ABSTRACT COLLINS MERRI K., M.S., August 2017, Environmental Studies Searching for a Salamander: Distribution and Habitat of the Common Mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) in Southeast Ohio Using Environmental DNA Director of Thesis: Shawn R. Kuchta Habitat destruction and anthropogenic drivers have led to a decline of amphibian populations worldwide, but the conservation status of many species remains in question. Environmental DNA is a new monitoring methodology that non-invasively detects the presence of imperiled, rare, and secretive species. Although the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect species presence is increasing, it is not often paired with habitat data. This study focuses on the declining Common Mudpuppy salamander, Necturus maculosus. I conducted both traditional and eDNA field surveys at 10 stream sites located in Southeastern Ohio. I detected the presence of Mudpuppies at 6 of 10 streams using eDNA.
