About this map

The Muskingum River and Wills Creek define this river-valley landscape in the early 1960s, a period marked by heavy industrial activity alongside traditional rural settlements. Evidence of the region's coal industry is widespread, with numerous Strip Mine operations and Strip Mines appearing across the hills of Jackson and Virginia townships. A large Conveyor and Substation east of Conesville further highlight the area's energy infrastructure.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several family-named landmarks and rural institutions. Small settlements like New Moscow and Adams Mills are mapped in detail, while numerous country churches and burial grounds, such as Christian Chapel, Cox Cem, and St Matthews Ch Cem, anchor the community. Transportation networks are prominent, including the Pennsylvania railroad line and an Abandon Canal corridor, illustrating the evolution of commerce along the Muskingum valley.
