About this map

Muskingum College anchors the northern landscape of this region, which straddles the boundary between Muskingum and Guernsey counties. The village of New Concord sits at the headwaters of the North Fork and Crooked Creek, a terrain characterized by the extensive footprint of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. While the town center represents educational and civic growth, the surrounding townships of Union, Westland, and Spencer reveal an economy transitioning between agriculture and heavy industry.

Surface-level disruptions are evident in the numerous Strip Mines and a large Quarry near the rail line, while smaller rural nodes like Claysville and Rix Mills maintain their character through local landmarks such as Westland Sch and East Union Ch. The map also preserves the locations of family-held history at Pleasant Hill Cem and Zion Cem, providing a detailed record of the social and industrial geography of southeastern Ohio in the mid-1990s.
