About this map

The northern reaches of the Wayne National Forest define this 2013 survey of the coal and clay country at the junction of Perry, Morgan, and Athens counties. The topography is dominated by the sprawling Burr Oak Reservoir, while the industrial legacy of the region is traced through the CSX Transportation rail lines that follow the winding path of Sunday Cr. Small settlements like Corning, Rendville, and Glouster are closely clustered, reflecting a history of dense mining communities linked by both rail and road networks.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Millertown Methodist Cem, Corning Catholic Cem, and Maplewood Cem. The map documents numerous hollows and ridges such as Happy Hollow and Irish Ridge, alongside smaller industrial water features like the New York Central Reservoir 9420 and Seymer Pond, marking the long-term human footprint on this southern Ohio landscape.
