About this map

The Hocking River carves a winding path toward its confluence with the Ohio River at Hockingport, anchoring this corner of Troy Township in Athens County. The landscape is defined by its numerous family-named landmarks and historical burying grounds, from the Old Coolville Cemetery and Frame Cemetery near Coolville to the Vanderhoof Cemetery in the west. Topographical features like Brimstone Ridge and Heiney Ridge divide the drainage basins of Fourmile Creek and Forked Run.

Regional hubs like Tuppers Plains and the smaller community of Eden are clearly marked by their local post offices and cemeteries, providing an invaluable record for genealogists. The presence of Indian Landing along the riverfront near McGill Run reflects the area's deep connection to the water, while infrastructure like the Lower Hickory Hills Lake Dam shows the more contemporary management of the local watershed.
