About this map

The Little Muskingum River and its many winding tributaries, such as Cranenest Fork and Witten Fork, define the topography of this Monroe County landscape. Small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks are scattered across the ridges and hollows, including Antioch, Laings, and Mechanicsburg. The area is notably dense with cemetery sites, preserving local lineage through locations like Moffett Methodist Cem, Laings Presbyterian Cem, and the Old Otts Cem.

Large portions of the terrain are encompassed by the Wayne National Forest, where steep relief is marked by features like Paulas Ridge and Jackson Hollow. Significant man-made landmarks include the Foraker Bridge and Lake Glen, alongside a network of township roads that follow the high ground of Dent Ridge and Greenbrier Ridge. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and settlement patterns of Perry Township in the early 21st century.
