2019 Map of Coolville

About this map

Coolville and its surrounding ridge lands sit near the confluence of the Hocking River and the Ohio River, marking a landscape where topography deeply dictates settlement. This 2019 survey illustrates how the high ground of Brimstone Ridge, Heiney Ridge, and Limberger Ridge continues to host the primary roads and communities, away from the winding creek beds of Wolfpen Cr and Fourmile Creek. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous small burial sites including Old Coolville Cem, Fairview Cem, and White Chapel Cem. Along the western edge, Tuppers Plains and the recreation area at Upper Hickory Hills Lake serve as local hubs, while smaller named locales like Pinegrove, Joppa, and Success appear as nodes within the rural network. The border between Athens Co and Meigs Co runs through the southern half of the sheet, while the Ohio River forms the state boundary with West Virginia.
