About this map

Wills Creek winds through this portion of Guernsey and Noble Counties, defining the drainage patterns that connect numerous historic villages. The settlement of Byesville serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Lucasburg, Robins, and Derwent. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, documenting local history through the Saint Michael Cem, Greenwood Cem, and the Old Hartford Cem near Buffalo.

Infrastructure and recreation are balanced across the landscape, from the Cambridge Municipal Airport in the north to the Indian Lakes Recreation Area Upper Lake. Local transportation routes like Clay Pike and Roller Rd link these upland areas to the Buffalo Fork valley. The survey provides a clear view of the rural township boundaries and the intersection of established mining or agricultural outposts like Opperman and Bluebell.
