2016 Map of Macksburg

About this map

The Middle Fork Duck Cr and West Fork Duck Creek carve a series of deep valleys through the hills of Noble and Washington Counties. This 2016 survey captures the rural character of southeastern Ohio, centered on the community of Macksburg and stretching north toward the county seat at Caldwell. The landscape is defined by its ridge-and-valley topography, with roads like Davis Ridge Rd and Ogles Ridge Rd following the high ground while small settlements and cemeteries occupy the bottomlands and hillsides. For family researchers, the map provides precise locations for numerous burial grounds, including the Macksburg Cem, Hesson Cem, and the high-elevation Fulda Cem. Small hamlets like Goose Hollow, Ashton, and Dexter City illustrate the long-standing settlement pattern of the region, where infrastructure remains closely tied to the winding drainage of Buffalo Run and Otterslide Run.
