About this map

The Muskingum River flows past the riverfront communities of Mc Connelsville and Malta in this mid-1990s survey of Morgan County. The landscape is a study in industrial transition, where numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells dot the hillsides alongside extensive tracts marked as Reclaimed Area and Reclaimed Strip Mine. This period captures the recovery of the terrain following significant resource extraction, while preserving the traditional rural infrastructure of small settlements like Slemmons and Neelysville.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landmarks such as the Neelysville Sch and several country churches, including McKendree Ch and Pisgah Ch. The recreational value of the river is anchored by the Muskingum River Parkway State Park, while the interior is defined by winding drainage networks like Meigs Creek and Bear Run, which have shaped the settlement patterns of Bloom and Bristol townships.
