About this map

The Ohio River forms the southern boundary of this Washington County landscape, where the confluence of the Little Hocking River defines the local geography. Settlements like Little Hocking and Porterfield are hubs for a rural network of roads and ridges, including the prominent Tick Ridge and Barnett Ridge. The map reveals a dense concentration of local heritage sites, particularly cemeteries such as Quaker Cem and Fairfield Church Cem, alongside the Decatur Methodist Episcopal Church.

South across the water, the terrain shifts into West Virginia near Washington Bottom and Blennerhassett. The Blennerhassett Island Bridge provides a modern connection over the river, while the interior is marked by numerous watercourses like Long Brook and West Branch Little Hocking River. This documentation of the area at the close of the 2010s captures the enduring character of these riverfront communities and their upland neighbors before further suburban expansion from Belpre alters the landscape.
