About this map

The ridge-and-hollow country of southeastern Ohio is documented here at a time when small rural congregations and family cemeteries still defined the local social landscape. Settlements like Chesterhill and Bartlett serve as primary hubs, connected by winding roads that track the complex topography of Bethel Ridge. This 1961 survey, updated in 1990, reveals the enduring spiritual and memorial geography of the area, featuring numerous small sites like Friends Cem, Quaker Cem, and Mt Hermon Ch.

Waterways like the West Branch Wolf Creek and North Branch are central to the terrain, with historical infrastructure represented by a Covered Bridge located north of Patten Mills. The southern portion of the map transitions into the wooded expanse of the Wayne National Forest, while the presence of gas and oil wells across the central townships of Wesley and Marion highlights the region's long-standing connection to natural resource extraction.
