2016 Map of New Plymouth

About this map

New Plymouth and the surrounding borderlands of Hocking and Vinton counties are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows, where small settlements like Orland and Ilesboro anchor the rural landscape. Much of the southern and eastern terrain is preserved within the Wayne National Forest, an area marked by high points such as Harble Ridge and Carrick Hill. The drainage patterns are intricate, with the Honey Fork and W Br Raccoon Cr cutting through the topography. Genealogy researchers will find numerous small burial sites preserved on these slopes, including the Morris Chapel Cems, Miller Chapel Cem, and Olive Branch Cem. The map illustrates a region where life follows the contours of the land, from the secluded Metz Hollow to the small community of Blackjack in the northwest corner.
