About this map

Ruraldale and Museville anchor this portion of the Muskingum and Morgan County line, a landscape defined by the branching tributaries of Kent Run and Meigs Cr. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Stone Church Cem and Allens Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's ancestral settlement. These sites are linked by a dense network of township and county roads such as Rockville Rd and Cutler Lake Rd, tracing the ridgelines and hollows of the Appalachian Plateau.

Industrial and natural history converge at Cutler Lake and along the drainages of Dry Riffle Run and Marshall Cr. The presence of Coal Hollow and Harmony Hollow reflects the topographical character of southeastern Ohio, where small settlements like High Hill and Young Hickory were established near the intersections of local commerce and agriculture. The map provides a precise look at the 2019 footprint of these rural communities, preserving the locations of Bethlehem Cem and the Oakland Methodist Cem for local historical research.
