2023 Map of South Bloomingville

About this map

South Bloomingville and Gibsonville anchor this survey of the rugged Hocking County interior, where steep ridges and narrow hollows dictate the layout of rural life. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, including the Methodist Episcopal Cem and Saint John the Baptist Cem, which reflect the tight-knit pioneer settlements of these hills. The area is a significant corridor for local transit and recreation, featuring the North Country National Scenic Trl and the Buckeye Trl winding through the Wayne National Forest. Notable landmarks such as the Hagley Hollow Arch and Ash Cave Cabins highlight the distinct geological character of the region. Waterways like Queer Creek and Little Pine Creek cut through deep drainages such as Gold Mine Hollow and Brineinger Hollow, illustrating the difficult terrain that historical residents navigated.
