2023 Map of Chesterhill

About this map

The village of Chesterhill stands at the northern edge of this southeastern Ohio landscape, where the ridges of Buckeye Ridge transition into the rolling drainages of the West Branch Wolf Creek and the West Branch Little Hocking River. This modern survey highlights a region deeply rooted in settlement history, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds such as Old Quaker Cem, Bartlett Friends Cem, and Quaker Cem near the community of Bartlett. These names reflect the early influence of the Society of Friends and other mission-focused groups in the area. The map traces the winding paths of several runs, including North Branch Coal Run and Shrader Run, which carve through the wooded terrain of Wayne National Forest. Small settlements like Plantsville, Patten Mills, and Dale are connected by a network of township roads, marking the persistent agricultural and forestry character of the Morgan, Athens, and Washington county borders.
