About this map

Glouster, Trimble, and Jacksonville anchor the northern reaches of this Hocking Valley landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and narrow stream valleys. The geography here is a complex of local history markers, including numerous family and community burial grounds such as Liberty Hill Cem, Taylor Ridge Cem, and the Queen of Heaven Cemeteries. The Hocking River and its tributaries, including Sunday Cr and Sugar Cr, have historically shaped the settlement patterns of towns like Chauncey and Millfield.

Significant portions of the area are managed as part of the Wayne National Forest, preserving the wooded character of Peach Ridge and Hooper Ridge. Local infrastructure highlights include the Kidwell Covered Bridge and the Kidwell Bridge spanning the local waterways. Small communities and named locales like Redtown, Truetown, and East Millfield reveal the fine-grained settlement history of this part of Athens County.
