2013 Map of Quaker City

About this map

Quaker City and Batesville anchor this corner of the Appalachian Plateau, where the border of Guernsey and Noble Counties runs through a landscape defined by deeply carved stream valleys. The network of waterways, including Leatherwood Creek and Beaver Creek, historically dictated the placement of early settlements and rural cemeteries. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites such as Friends Cem, Palestine Cem, and Wyscarver Cem, often located on high ground above the valley floors. In the southwest, the waters of Senecaville Lake illustrate the 20th-century management of the watershed, while the name B & O Railroad Pond near Spencer Station remains as a marker of the rail infrastructure that once linked these communities. The map also captures several smaller residential areas like Sue-Lin Acres and Lakeland, reflecting more recent land development patterns.
