About this map

Old Washington sits at a historic crossroads in Guernsey County, where local routes like Zane Rd and the more modern interstate corridor intersect. This landscape is defined by the winding course of the Salt Fork and the significant footprint of the Salt Fork Reservoir to the northwest. Small, long-standing settlements like Elizabethtown, Easton, and Winterset anchor the surrounding rural territory, each maintaining its own distinct identity through local landmarks and burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians can find several family and community sites, including the Old Washington Cemetery, McQuade Cemetery, and Allen Cemetery. The topography transitions from the lowlands near Mud Run and Beeham Run to more prominent features like Devils Knob in the north. The presence of Brothers Aviation Airport west of the main village reflects the ongoing utility of these open, rolling lands in the modern era.
