1961 Map of Piedmont

About this map

Piedmont Reservoir and Clendening Reservoir dominate this eastern Ohio landscape, illustrating the mid-century flood control and recreation infrastructure of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. The rugged hills of Harrison, Guernsey, and Belmont counties are marked by the presence of strip mines in Moorefield and Flushing townships, highlighting the region's reliance on coal extraction. Transportation history is anchored by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which follows the winding path of Stillwater Creek through the village of Piedmont. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Quaker Cem near Londonderry and Stillwater Cem further south. The map also captures the social fabric of the era through youth camps, including the Boy Scout Camp on the northern reservoir and Camp Piedmont (4-H Camp) nestled along the wooded shoreline of the southern pool.
