About this map

The Little Muskingum River meanders through a landscape defined by deep valleys and high ridges in the southeast corner of Ohio, just across the water from Belmont, West Virginia. This area is characterized by scattered rural settlements like Sitka, Moss Run, and Fay, which are connected by winding roads and the N Country National Scenic Trail. The dense woodlands of the Wayne National Forest dominate the central terrain, while the southern boundary is marked by the broad Ohio River.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including the Old Dutch Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and the Lawrence Baptist Cem near Patterson Hollow. Along the river, the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge protects landmarks such as Broadback Island and First Brother Island, illustrating the river's ecological and historical significance as a primary transportation artery between Ohio and West Virginia.
