About this map

Glouster and Trimble anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, where the headwaters of Sunday Cr carve through the hills of Athens County. This area is defined by a dense concentration of lineage-rich sites, including the Queen of Heaven Cemeteries and the Kidwell Covered Bridge, reflecting a long-established settlement pattern along the narrow valleys. The terrain rises sharply toward Taylor Ridge and Oregon Ridge, much of which is protected within the Wayne National Forest. To the south, the village of Millfield and the mining-legacy town of Chauncey sit near the confluence of the Hocking River, illustrating the transition from upland ridges to the broader river bottomlands. Numerous family cemeteries, such as Lefever Cem and Cary Cem, are scattered across the high ground, marking the sites of former homesteads that once lined roads like TWP HWY 345 and Salt Creek RD.
