2019 Map of Lowell

About this map

The Muskingum River dominates this portion of Washington County, winding past the village of Lowell and its neighboring settlement at Upper Lowell. This river corridor was a focal point of early Ohio navigation and transit, evidenced by the clustered hamlets of Coal Run, Equity, and Clifton that line its banks. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, identifying numerous family and congregational burial grounds including the Old German Cem, Our Lady of Mercy Cem, and Salem Church Cem. Beyond the floodplains of Federal Bottom and the broad Dana Island, the topography rises sharply into high ground such as Hibbs Ridge and Dixon Ridge, where a network of township roads connects isolated farmsteads. The intersection of three counties—Washington, Noble, and Morgan—occurs in the northern section near the small community of Dungannon.
