The Egypt Valley Wildlife Area is a former surface mining area in northwestern Belmont County Ohio, United States. Since the mid-1990s, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources has administered the area.〔http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/wild_resourcessubhomepage/WildlifeAreaMaps/SoutheastOhioWildlifeAreaMaps/EgyptValleyWildlifeArea/tabid/19971/Default.aspx〕〔http://www.lrh.usace.army.mil/Articles/index.cfm?id=2401&pge_prg_id=7788〕 For many years, local residents have fished, hunted, camped and explored the high walls, backwaters, and graveyards that make up this area. People, to a lesser extent, call the area Egypt Bottom.〔http://www.ghostvillage.com/encounters/2002/11062002.shtml〕 The area encompasses the northwest corner of Belmont County. Morristown and Hendrysburg are on the southern edges of the area, while Holloway and Flushing are on the northern edge of the area. The southern end of Piedmont Lake, the opposite end of the dam in Piedmont, juts into the northern pocket of the area as well.〔http://www.mwcd.org/places/reservoirs/piedmont-reservoir〕 == Coal mining ==
Before the area became a sporting destination, it was surface-mined.〔http://www.coalcampusa.com/eastoh/pittsburgh8/pittsburgh8.htm〕 Egypt Valley was home to some of the largest earth moving machines, most notably the GEM of Egypt, and the less known Mountaineer.〔http://www.stripmine.org/gem_01.htm〕〔http://www.etsu.edu/reece/machinerytext.asp〕 The high walls and unique look to the area was the end-result of this mining method. Most coal extraction ceased in the early 1990s.
