About this map

The Little Muskingum River and its numerous tributaries, such as Knowlton Fork, define the deeply dissected landscape of Monroe County. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely rural, characterized by small hilltop settlements like Graysville and Sprague connected by winding ridge roads. The map reveals a land heavily utilized for natural resources, evidenced by the high density of Gas Well sites scattered across nearly every township.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family and community landmarks. Numerous burial grounds, including Lamping Cem and Henthorn Cem, are noted alongside cultural anchors like the Wayne Sch and Pleasant Ridge Ch. A distinctive landmark of the local transportation network is the Sycamore Valley Covered Bridge spanning the Clear Fork. The inclusion of an Indian Mound near the southern border highlights the deep human history of the Old Seven Ranges survey area.
