Buckeye Ordnance Works Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Wintz50: This should have been an easy find hanging on section of old rolled up fencing on tree at the coords. I am no longer in the area to maintain this listing so I am archiving it due to the past 4 DNFs in a row. Thanks to all who have visited!

Geocache Description:

Easy Park & Grab. Please hide back just as you find it to prevent being spotted by random passerbys.

The cache is located just off of the main loop that goes around the current industrial park. This should be an easy park and grab just a couple feet off the pavement.

World War II spurred development of several ammunitions factories and suppliers across the United States. In early 1942, construction began on the Atmospheric Nitrogen Corporation, also known as Buckeye Ordnance Works, in South Point, Ohio.(3) The city and plant, as well as nearby Ironton, were placed in the Industrial Defense Zone.

Operations began in 1943, producing ammonium nitrate explosives for the United States military.(1)(2) After the war ended, in 1946, the plant was purchased by Allied Chemical Incorporated and the factory produced ammonia, urea, nitrogen fertilizer, melamine, formaldehyde, and urea formaldehyde until 1978.
