About this map

Crooksville and Roseville anchor this detailed study of the tri-county borderlands where Perry, Muskingum, and Morgan counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Moxahala Creek, which connects a string of settlements including Ironspot and Elizabeth. The presence of several cemeteries, such as Bethel Methodist Cem and Rose Hill Cem, offers valuable data for genealogists tracing family roots through these established Ohio communities.

Industrial and natural features are heavily intertwined, from the waters of Lake Isabel and Buckeye Fork to the managed landscapes of the Avondale Wildlife Area Reservoir Number One. Smaller residential areas like Brigglesville and the Conway Addition provide a granular look at the residential expansion surrounding the larger pottery-producing towns. The terrain is marked by distinct local landmarks like Possum Hollow and the varied drainage systems of Jonathan Creek and Turkey Run.
