2013 Map of Marietta

About this map

The Muskingum River joins the Ohio River at Marietta, defining a landscape where ancient history and modern industry converge. The presence of the Conus Mound and Mound Cemetery speaks to the deep indigenous history of the site, while the nearby Marietta College and Washington State Community College highlight the area's long-standing role as an educational hub. The river-driven economy is evident through the Muskingum River Lock and Dam Number 3 and several bridges including the Schwendenman Bridge. Residential growth is visible in neighborhoods such as Rathbone Heights, Emerson Heights, and Arlington Heights. Agriculture remains a presence on the periphery, noted by Biehl's Dairy Farm and the Zimmerview Dairy Farm. This map also captures several family-named burial grounds like Kinnaird Cemetery and Lynch Church Cemetery, providing essential landmarks for genealogical research along the valley slopes.
