About this map

Cumberland serves as the primary hub in this corner of Guernsey County, where the Cumberland Post Office and Cumberland Cemetery anchor a landscape defined by an extensive network of artificial water bodies. The terrain is intricately carved by dozens of industrial impoundments, such as Ohio Power Pond Number Four and Ohio Power Company Pond 9615-022, each managed by a corresponding dam. This massive hydrological engineering project, including the Ohio Power Company Pond Nb-102 Dam, points to a significant history of resource management and power generation utility across the rural township.

Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered among the ridges and runs, including Renrock Methodist Protestant Cemetery near the settlement of Renrock, as well as Mount Zion Cemetery and Ark Springs Baptist Cemetery. Smaller locales like Zeno, Coal Hill, and Young Hickory mark the quiet intersections of backroads like Rifle Range Rd and Township Road 51, maintaining their identity amidst the engineered ponds of the Miller Creek and Collins Fork drainage systems.
