2016 Map of Piedmont

About this map

Piedmont Lake and Clendening Lake dominate this eastern Ohio landscape, where the borders of Harrison, Guernsey, and Belmont counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and narrow valleys, with settlements like Moorefield and Piedmont situated along winding ridge-top and valley roads. The map reveals a high concentration of sites important to local genealogy, including the Moorefield Methodist Episcopal Cem and the Quaker Cem near Smyrna. Waterways such as Stillwater Creek, Boggs Fork, and Sixmile Run carve through the hills, feeding the large reservoirs. Notable landmarks like Prospect Hill provide vertical relief in an area characterized by dispersed rural residences and small community centers like Belmont Ridge and Oakgrove. This map offers a clear view of the complex hydrology and rural settlement patterns of the region during the early twenty-first century.
