2016 Map of Rinard Mills

About this map

The Little Muskingum River carves through the southeast corner of Ohio, defining the geography of this portion of the Wayne National Forest. Local infrastructure is anchored by historic crossings, most notably the Rinard Covered Bridge and Knowlton Bridge, reflecting a landscape once dependent on these river passages. Small settlements such as Rinard Mills, Bloomfield, and Hohman are positioned along the winding valley floors and ridges, often marked by community landmarks like the Muskingum Valley Baptist Cem or the Ludlow Catholic Cem. A complex system of trails, including the Archers Fork Loop Trail and the Covered Bridge Trail, weaves between topographic features like Armstrong Ridge and English Hill, documenting the modern recreational use of this wooded terrain alongside its older agricultural and residential roots.
