About this map

Londonderry and Freeport anchor this survey of the tri-county borderlands where Guernsey, Harrison, and Tuscarawas Counties meet. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of Stillwater Creek and the Skull Fork, characterized by narrow valleys and numerous family-named cemeteries that speak to the area's deep settlement history. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites, including the Scotch Covenanter Cem and the Pleasant Hill Methodist Protestant Cem, which reflect the diverse denominational roots of these rural communities.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by the Skull Fork Bridge and several winding township roads like Hettick Hollow Rd and Steel Hollow Rd. Small water bodies such as Hidden Haven Lake and tributaries like Atkinson Cr and Craborchard Cr detail the intricate hydrology of the region. This 2016 record preserves the modern placement of historic churches and rural landmarks, such as Greenmont Cem and Sunset View Cem, providing a precise look at the contemporary geography of these southeastern Ohio townships.
