About this map

The Muskingum River dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, flanked by the riverfront settlements of Gilbert and Drake. The valley's industrial character is defined by extensive extraction, with dozens of Strip Mines and several Gas Wells dotting the ridges between Symmes Creek and Salt Creek. Near the river, the Ellis Dam and a Gaging Station monitor the water's flow, while the Powelson Wildlife Area preserves a significant stretch of the river's western bank.

Local life is centered around rural landmarks like Adamsville and several historic congregations, including Bethesda Ch and Washington Ch. For genealogists, family burial grounds like Stoner Cem and Stanley Cem are carefully noted. This era also shows specialized facilities such as the YMCA Camp and the Zanesville Honor Camp, alongside the tracks of the New York Chicago and St Louis railroad, which follows the river's natural corridor.
