About this map

Eagleport and the Muskingum River corridor define the geography of this eastern Ohio landscape. The river, a critical artery for transport and industry, is punctuated here by the Muskingum River Lock and Dam Number 7 at Rokeby Lock. This hydraulic infrastructure supported early navigation and reflects the managed waterways of Morgan County. Away from the river, the terrain rises into ridges such as Poplar Ridge and the Green Knobs, where small agricultural and rural settlements took root.

Researchers will find several family-named burial sites, including Anderson Cem, Albright Cem, and Dutch Hill Cem, providing valuable genealogical data for the region. The map also traces the winding courses of multiple drainages like Oilspring Run and Island Run that carve through the hills. To the southwest, a portion of the Wayne National Forest remains preserved, contrasting the developed crossroads at Triadelphia and Joetown.
