About this map

Piedmont Lake and Clendening Lake dominate this eastern Ohio landscape, where the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District has reshaped the drainage of Stillwater Creek and Boggs Fork. This late-twentieth-century survey documents a region defined by the intersection of water management and resource extraction. Significant portions of the terrain around Moorefield and Holloway are marked by Strip Mines and substantial Reclaimed Strip Mines, illustrating the environmental lifecycle of the local coal industry.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, including the Belmont Ridge Cem and Quaker Cem near the town of Smyrna. The map also captures local recreational and conservation infrastructure, such as the Piedmont Dam, Camp Piedmont, and the sprawling Egypt Valley State Wildlife Area. The complex boundary lines of Harrison, Guernsey, and Belmont counties converge here, highlighting the area's significance as a regional crossroads.
