About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of southeastern Ohio is prominently displayed in this early 1960s study, where the borders of Morgan, Washington, and Athens counties converge. The village of Chesterhill anchors the northwestern corner, while the surrounding townships of Marion, Windsor, and Wesley are dotted with numerous rural congregations and resting places, such as Tabor Ch, Bethel Ridge Ch, and the Quaker Cem.

Evidence of the region's early land divisions remains visible through the markings of the Donation Tract and its southern boundary. The drainage patterns of West Branch Wolf Creek and its tributaries like Coal Run define the terrain, which supported small settlements like Plantsville and Patten Mills. Farther south, the Wayne National Forest begins to dominate the landscape near the Little Hocking River, reflecting the area's transition toward protected woodland.
