About this map

Chandlersville serves as a prominent focal point in the southern portion of this landscape, situated near the confluence of Buffalo Fork and Williams Fork. The area exhibits a pattern of small settlements and rural landmarks, including the Chandlersville Cem and the nearby Salt Creek Cem. Further north, the village of Norwich is positioned along the Baltimore and Ohio rail line, which cuts across the terrain alongside the growing highway infrastructure.

The presence of Smith Mill and Perry Sch suggests a legacy of local industry and community life established well before the modern revisions captured here. Large tracts of protected land appear in the south with Blue Rock State Forest, while numerous watercourses like White Eyes Creek and Salt Creek define the drainage of the Muskingum County hills. This 1961 survey, updated with 1972 data, preserves the locations of early rural institutions and family-named runs.
