2016 Map of Belmont

About this map

The Little Muskingum River winds through the northern half of this landscape, passing through the Wayne National Forest and the communities of Moss Run and Sitka. This area along the border of Washington County, Ohio, and Pleasants County, West Virginia, is defined by its numerous family and church burial grounds, reflecting generations of local settlement. Genealogists can find the Old Dutch Cem, Ludwig Cem, and Beech Grove Presbyterian Cem scattered across the ridges. Further south, the Ohio River forms the state boundary, featuring Broadback Island and First Brother Island. The riverfront includes the town of Belmont, where Newell Run meets the larger waterway. The map captures a detailed view of the rural road network, from Stanleyville Rd to the trails of NCT Marietta S, connecting small hubs like Cornerville and Yankeeburg.
