DEPARTMENT OP THE INTEKIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, D. C. , March 9, 190Jh SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin, a gazetteer of West Virginia! Very respectfully, HENRY GANNETT, Geogwvpher. Hon. CHARLES D. 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.

Draft Biological and Water Quality Report - Wills
Division of Surface Water June 2019 TMDL DEVELOPMENT | Draft Biological and Water Quality Report - Wills Creek and Selected Tributaries, 2014 In 2014, Ohio EPA conducted a biological and water quality survey in the Wills Creek watershed. This fact sheet summarizes the findings detailed in the biological and water quality report (BWQR). Report Highlights Wills Creek mainstem has experienced impressive reestablishment of warmwater habitat (WWH) communities and improved habitat scores since Ohio EPA’s 1984 and 1994 water quality surveys. In 1994, Ohio EPA conducted a biological and water quality study of the Wills Creek mainstem at 17 locations. At that time, only one location near the mouth was in full attainment of the WWH aquatic life use. Of the 13 biological samples assessed in 2014, nine (69 Figure 1. Sampling locations in the Wills Creek survey largely percent) were fully meeting the WWH aquatic life use and met their existing or recommended aquatic life use four (31 percent) were in partial attainment. Only one mainstem location was meeting for fish in 1994 but in 2014, 10 of the 13 sites sampled met the WWH biocritieria. In the 2014 survey, only one location did not meet for the aquatic insects because of flow alteration from a lowhead dam. The other locations sampled for macroinvertebrates were marginally good to exceptional and showed a major improvement in the number of EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera) and sensitive taxa compared to the 1984 and 1994 surveys. Habitat dramatically improved with an average QHEI score of 62.1. A total of 45 Wills Creek tributaries were sampled at 68 locations with 42 (62 percent) in full attainment, 21 (31 Stakeholder Input percent) in partial attainment and five (7 percent) in non- The Agency is releasing the results from Wills Creek attainment of the assigned aquatic life use.

The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District
THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE VOL. XXXVIII MAY, 1938 No. 3 THE MUSKINGUM WATERSHED CONSERVANCY DISTRICT CHARLES C. HUNTINGTON Department of Geography, The Ohio State University The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District is an important example of co-operation for resources conservation by the Federal Government, a State, and the people of a local political subdivision. The Muskingum Watershed, a part of the Mississippi Drainage Basin, is the largest in Ohio, including 8,038 square miles. This area, together with the 289 square miles drained by Duck Creek, constitutes about one-fifth of the area of the state. Physiographically, it lies mostly in the unglaciated Appalachian Plateau, the northern and western part, however, being within the glaciated portion. (Plate I.) Politically, the Conservancy District consists of eighteen counties forming a political subdivision whose boundaries follow roughly those of the drainage basin. From an economic and social point of view, this Con- servancy District, created June 3, 1933, under the Conservancy Act of Ohio, passed soon after the great flood of 1913,1 includes approximately half the major land-use problem areas of the State.2 This very hilly section of Ohio was the first settled, but contains large areas not well adapted to arable farming on account of the difficulty of using modern farm machinery, the serious erosion due to the rapid run-off from long denuded slopes and the impoverished soils mostly of sandstone and shale origin. The average yearly rainfall of the area is approximately 39 inches, but the run-off is high especially during the winter and Massed February 6, 1914, Page's Annotated Ohio General Code, Sees.

Rules & Regulations
RULES & REGULATIONS THE MUSKINGUM WATERSHED CONSERVANCY DISTRICT ‐ 54,000 acres of land and water await the visitor to Conservancy District lands and lakes. Found here are 10 dams with permanent reservoirs and four dry dams which hold water only during times of flooding. The Conservancy District has developed parks and marinas on its properties to help provide access to these lands and lakes. You will find a broad range of outdoor activities offered in the Conservancy District including camping, hiking, swimming, picnicking, fishing and hunting. The parks feature scenic picnic areas, spacious playfields, sandy swimming beaches and marked hiking trails for everyone’s enjoyment. The clean family‐ oriented parks are open from 8:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. daily during the summer season and from 8:00 A.M. to dark from Labor Day to Memorial Day. Camping is available 24 hours per day. HISTORY and ORGANIZATION ‐ The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District is a political subdivision of the State of Ohio and was organized under state law in 1933 for the primary purposes of flood control, conservation and recreation. The Conservancy District covers 1/5 of the State of Ohio and is located in 18 counties. By 1938, 14 flood‐control dams were established and the first waters to form the 10 permanent lakes were retained behind the dams. The 1939 Federal Flood control Act transferred the operation of the 14 flood‐control dams to the U.S. Army corps of Engineers. Since then, the MWCD has been responsible for all conservation and recreation throughout its 16,000 acres of water and 38,000 acres of land.
