About this map

Piedmont Lake and Clendening Lake dominate this eastern Ohio landscape, where the waters of Stillwater Creek and Boggs Fork were harnessed by the construction of the Piedmont Dam. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural settlements to recreational lakeside communities, evidenced by a series of planned developments like the Hilltop Cottage Area, Goodrich Cottage Area, and Reynolds Road Cottage Area. In the small hamlet of Moorefield, the Moorefield Post Office stands near the Moorefield Methodist Episcopal Cemetery, serving as a focal point for the local rural community.

Genealogists will find a concentration of historical burial grounds that reflect the area's early Quaker and Methodist heritage, including the Quaker Cemetery and Smyrna Methodist Episcopal Cemetery. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Belmont Ridge and Prospect Hill, while the local economy is traced through landmarks like the Piedmont Lake Marina and the village of Holloway in the southeastern corner.
