About this map

Crooksville and Roseville anchor this map of southeastern Ohio, where the winding valley of Moxahala Creek serves as a primary geographic corridor through Perry, Muskingum, and Morgan counties. The landscape is characterized by numerous small settlements like Ironspot, Brigglesville, and White Cottage, linked by a dense network of local roads such as the Maysville Pike and Ceramic Rd. This area reflects a history of industrial and natural resource management, evidenced by the multiple reservoirs and the Avondale Wildlife Area.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including the Bethel Methodist Cem and the Ebenezer Cem. The topography is marked by distinctive drainages and hollows, such as Possum Hollow, Snake Run, and Baughman Run. These features, combined with the presence of Lake Isabel and the Crooksville Reservoir Number Two, highlight a terrain deeply defined by its water system and the small-town clusters that grew alongside them.
