2016 Map of Beverly

About this map

The Muskingum River dominates this corner of Ohio, winding past the historic river towns of Waterford and Beverly. The presence of Muskingum River Lock and Dam Number 2 and Muskingum River Lock and Dam Number 3 highlights the enduring importance of this waterway for navigation and regional infrastructure. To the north and west, the landscape is dotted with smaller settlements like Mill Grove, Relief, and Beckett, while the southern reaches feature the curiously named Luke Chute. This 2016 survey also documents modern industrial features such as the Muskingum River Fly Ash Reservoir and various ash impoundments, illustrating the intersection of old river commerce with contemporary energy production. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Center Memorial Church Cem, Smiths Chapel Cem, and Meigsville Cem, which anchor the surrounding farmsteads and ridges.
