About this map

The Hocking River carves a deep path through this corner of Southeast Ohio, marking a significant bend before reaching the Ohio River boundary. The village of Coolville serves as a primary hub, situated near the intersection of several historic routes including Main Street and Water Street. The landscape is defined by its series of high, narrow divides such as Brimstone Ridge, Limberger Ridge, and Heiney Ridge, which separate the various drainages of Fourmile Creek and Wolfpen Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial sites, including the Old Coolville Cemetery, White Chapel Cemetery, and Humphrey Cemetery. Smaller crossroads like Tuppers Plains, Torch, and Hockingport maintain the area's rural character. The map also documents recreational water features like Upper Hickory Hills Lake, reflecting the area's transition from an agricultural and timber-based economy to one that emphasizes the natural topography of the hills.
