2019 Map of Piedmont

About this map

Piedmont Lake and Clendening Lake dominate this eastern Ohio landscape, where the irregular shorelines of Essex Bay and Huff Bay carve through the high ridges of Harrison, Guernsey, and Belmont Counties. The 2019 survey shows a region defined by its water-management infrastructure and small, enduring settlements. The village of Piedmont sits at the junction of Stillwater Creek and Boggs Fork, while the crossroads of Moorefield and the hilltop hamlet of Belmont Ridge occupy the higher ground between the reservoirs. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of religious and family burial grounds, including the Moorefield Methodist Episcopal Cem and the Quaker Cem. The North Country National Scenic Trail winds across the northern hills, following the contours of Prospect Hill and the drainage of Huff Run, illustrating the modern recreational use of this historically agricultural and hydraulic landscape.
