About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates the topography of this corner of Hocking County, where the hills are carved by the intricate drainage systems of Monday Creek and Threemile Creek. The landscape is a patchwork of small communities and rural family history, anchored by the settlements of Maxville, Gore, and Maysville. Numerous historic burial grounds like Webb Chapel Cem, Ebenezer Baptist Cem, and the Rhodes and Huddle Cem are scattered across the ridges, providing vital landmarks for genealogical research in this part of Ohio.

The area's industrial and transport history is represented by locations such as Monday Creek Junction and Sand Run Junction, where local valleys converge. Recreation and conservation are prominent features of the modern landscape, with the North Country National Scenic Trl winding through the forest near Old Gore and the Central Ohio Council BSA Pond. This survey captures the transition between Hocking and Perry counties along several winding backroads, including Maysville-Williams Rd.
