About this map

Marietta and Williamstown anchor this riverfront survey, where the Ohio River meets the Muskingum River at a historic confluence. The landscape is defined by its deep cultural layers, ranging from the ancient earthworks of Conus Mound to the established campuses of Marietta College and Marietta Bible College. Along the northern reaches of the Muskingum, the river winds past the riverside communities of Devola and Rainbow, while the eastern terrain is broken by the valleys of Duck Creek and the Little Muskingum River.

Transport and industry follow the water, with Csx Transportation rail lines tracing the riverbanks alongside established neighborhoods like Harmar, Norwood, and Rathbone. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in burial sites, documenting several family and community grounds including Old Saint Marys Cem, Lynch Church Cem, and Saint Jacobs Cem. This modern view captures the area as a mature river valley hub, balancing historic civic centers like the Washington County Courthouse with modern institutions such as Washington State Community College.
