2016 Map of Dresden

About this map

The Muskingum River flows through the eastern portion of this Muskingum County landscape, while the southern reaches are dominated by the waters of Dillon Lake and the protected lands of Dillon State Park. The settlement of Dresden sits near the river's bend, while Frazeysburg and Shannon are located further west along the drainages of Wakatamika Creek. This 2016 survey illustrates a rural region where small family and church burial grounds are distributed across the hills, including the Mattingly Settlement Cem and Black Log Cem. Genealogists and local historians can trace the network of country roads such as Old Stagecoach Rd and Raiders Rd that connect these dispersed communities. High ground at The Highlands overlooks the intersection of numerous runs and creeks that feed into the larger river systems, defining the area's hydrology.
