About this map

The Hocking River winds through a landscape defined by significant ridges and historical burial grounds at the convergence of Athens, Meigs, and Wood Counties. Settlement patterns are anchored by Coolville, where a cluster of sites including Old Coolville Cem, Coolville Cem, and Frame Cem sit near the river's sharp bend. Further west, Vanderhoof and Tuppers Plains serve as upland centers, while the village of Hockingport marks the strategic junction where the Hocking meets the Ohio River along the West Virginia border.

Genealogical researchers will find a high density of family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered across the terrain, from Heiney Cem on Heiney Ridge to the Caldwell Cem near Pinegrove. The transport network follows both the high ground, such as Limberger Ridge, and the numerous hollows drained by Fourmile Creek and Jordan Run, illustrating how the topography of southeast Ohio shaped local community development and land use into the 21st century.
