About this map

The village of Cumberland sits at a crossroads in the hills of southeast Ohio, where several rural townships meet. The landscape is defined by the legacy of resource extraction, shown by numerous water bodies like Central Ohio Coal Company Pond 9615-031 and several Ohio Power Company ponds, such as Ohio Power Company Pond Mum-48. These artificial lakes fill the hollows between ridges where the local economy was once tied to surface mining.

Smaller hamlets and landmarks like Zeno, Renrock, and Coal Hill dot the countryside, connected by winding routes such as Zeno Rd and Renrock Rd. Genealogists will find many family burial grounds and community sites, including Ark Springs Baptist Cem and Cumberland Cem. The drainage patterns of Collins Fork and Rannells Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the rural character of the Muskingum, Guernsey, and Noble county borderlands.
