About this map

The Hocking River winds through this Hocking County landscape, defining the character of Logan and its smaller neighbors, West Logan and South Logan. At the center of town, the Courthouse and East School anchor the community, while the County Fairground and Sewage Disposal facility occupy the river's eastern banks. The era's economic infrastructure is evident in the numerous Oil Wells peppered across the hillsides and a Strip Mine located south of the main settlement.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, including Oak Grove Cemetery, Antioch Cem, and the family-linked Ruff Cem. The recreational landscape is dominated by Lake Logan State Park, while spiritual centers like Mt Tabor Ch and Evangelical Ch are scattered through the rural sections of Marion and Good Hope townships. Transportation is marked by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and the Hocking Valley Scenic route, tracing the valley's historic path.
