About this map

Wills Creek meanders through this portion of Guernsey County, serving as the central drainage for a landscape dotted with small coal-era settlements and numerous country burial grounds. The community of Byesville serves as a local hub, situated just south of the interstate corridor and east of Cambridge Municipal Airport. Further south, the map details the village of Pleasant City and the crossing of Seneca Fork Wills Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the concentration of named cemeteries throughout the township, including Mount Zion Cem, Saint Michael Cem, and the Old Hartford Cem near Buffalo. The western edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Indian Lakes Recreation Area, where Upper Lake and Lower Lake are tucked into the valley south of Buckeyeville. This modern record preserves the exact location of these small-town landmarks and water features before further development occurs.
