About this map

The Ohio River forms the southern boundary of this region, where First Brother Island and Broadback Island sit near the riverbank. This river-centered economy is marked by historic points such as Leonards Landing, Clarks Landing, and Schnaufers Landing. Moving inland from the city of Belmont, the terrain transitions into a dense network of creek valleys and ridges. The Little Muskingum River meanders through the landscape, flanked by small settlements like Moss Run, Sitka, and Gracey.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Dutch Cemetery, Ludwig Cemetery, and Mount Pisgah Cemetery. These sites are often positioned on higher ground, such as Bean Ridge and Fox Point, overlooking the many winding runs like Cow Run and Eightmile Creek. The pattern of development follows these waterways, with the scattered hamlets of Yankeeburg and Dart connected by rural routes that trace the natural contours of the valley floors.
