About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates much of this Washington County landscape, where the Hocking River carves a deep arc through the terrain. The map records a rural network of small settlements and family-named landmarks established during the 19th-century expansion into southeastern Ohio. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Sawyer Cem, Miller Cem, and the Beebe Cem near the riverbanks.

Transport history is preserved in the form of the Old Railroad Grade winding through the hills near Cutler, a vestige of former industry alongside active Oil Wells and Gas Wells. The spiritual life of the area is noted through numerous local congregations like the Haga Mission and Decatur Chapel. These features, alongside the dotted land lines of the original Ohio Company Purchase, reflect the persistent settlement patterns of the Decatur and Rome townships.
