Welcome
to Central and
Southern Ohio
. An area rich in history and progress from the riverbanks of the
Ohio
to
Columbus.
This
region is as diverse as the State itself from the rolling foothills of
the Appalachian Mountains to the plains area of central
Ohio
. The Area consists of 17 Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Major
watersheds making up the region include the Scioto and
Hocking
Rivers
, Raccoon, Ohio Brush, White Oak, Little Scioto, Symmes, and Leading
Creeks and many smaller tributaries to the
Ohio River
.
Natural resources
have been a big part in the area's development including rich farm
ground, coal, oil, natural gas and iron ore deposits. Farms along
the
Scioto
River
are some of the oldest family owned farms in the State. The
forested areas served as a source for charcoal to fire the iron furnaces
of the region and today continue to provide lumber for furniture and
construction industry as well as pulp wood for paper production.
Development
continues to be a challenge for the northern districts with some of the
fastest growth areas in the
United States
and the largest city (
Columbus
) in
Ohio
. Districts are working hard to meet the needs of the challenges
of the region.
