About this map

The Muskingum River dominates this landscape, winding through the boundary of Morgan and Washington counties as a central artery for the surrounding settlements. Along its banks and the adjacent ridges, established communities like Beverly and Waterford anchor the southeastern corner, while smaller hamlets and rural landmarks such as Moscow Mills, Swift, and Luke Chute indicate the area's agricultural and river-based development. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including Meigsville Cem, DeLong Cem, and Milnor Cem.

Educational and utility infrastructure is clearly marked, from the Fort Frye Sch in Beverly to the Powerplant and Substation near Center Bend. The drainage patterns of Wolf Creek and Olive Green Creek define the upland terrain, where small country churches like Oakland Ch and Smiths Chapel served as local hubs. This survey provides a precise look at the land divisions of the Congress Lands North of Seven Ranges and the Donation Tract in the late twentieth century.
