About this map

The hills of Morgan, Washington, and Athens Counties are deeply etched by the West Branch Wolf Creek and its many tributaries, such as Shrader Run and Coal Run. The village of Chesterhill stands as a primary hub in the north, while Bartlett anchors the central region. This 1961 field check captures a landscape defined by small rural congregations and their associated burial grounds, including the Bethel Ridge Ch, Wesleyan Ch, and Quaker Cem.

Evidence of the region's early survey history is visible in the S Bdy Donation Tract and the complex county boundaries that meet near Patten Mills. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Wayne National Forest, where the terrain steepens toward the Little Hocking River. Notable landmarks such as the Covered Bridge on the North Branch Wolf Creek highlight the preservation of traditional infrastructure amidst the mid-century expansion of state routes and utility pipelines.
