2016 Map of Stafford

About this map

The Huffman Covered Bridge spans the waters of East Fork Duck Creek near Harriettsville, reflecting the engineering traditions that once connected these rural Noble and Monroe County communities. This southeastern Ohio landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Clear Fork Little Muskingum River and the numerous branches of Elk Fork. Settlement patterns are anchored by small villages such as Stafford, Flag, and Carlisle, many of which maintain historic burial grounds like Stafford Cem and Crum Ridge Cem. The eastern portion of the terrain is marked by the protected acreage of the Wayne National Forest, where high points like Hintshon Ridge overlook the deeply carved valleys of Creighton Run and Quail Run. A network of township roads and county highways, including Harriettsville Rd and Road Fork Rd, traces the ridges and hollows that have dictated local travel for generations.
