About this map

The boundary between the Old Seven Ranges and the United States Military District bisects this landscape, marking a significant historical surveying divide in eastern Ohio. The village of Freeport is situated near the confluence of Stillwater Creek and its southern tributaries, including Skull Fork and Craborchard Creek. This region, where Harrison and Guernsey Counties meet, is characterized by a network of ridges such as Atkinson Ridge and numerous small settlements like Londonderry and West Chester.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, including the Scotch Covenanter Cem and Yankee Point Cem, which reflect the early settlement patterns of the area. Educational and religious life is noted by landmarks like Lakeland Sch and Chestnut Hill Ch. The presence of a Quarry near the creek suggests the continued importance of local geological resources to the regional economy during the late twentieth century.
