About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates the landscape of this southern Ohio quadrangle, where high ridges like Zoar Ridge and Forest Ridge separate deep hollows and creek valleys. The small settlement of Sherritts serves as a central point in an area defined by its complex topography and numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Macedonia Cem, Littles Cem, and the Slab Fork Church Cem.

The map reveals a network of recreational paths such as the Vesuvius Main Loop Trl and Vesuvius Backpack Trl, winding through the timbered hills near McClure Lake. These trails and the surrounding terrain, marked by features like Tipton Knob and Stewart Knob, illustrate the region's character as a managed wilderness where historical land use and modern conservation meet. The persistence of names like Izaak Walton Lake reflects the area's long-standing connection to local conservation and outdoor life.
