2019 Map of Stewart

About this map

Guysville and Stewart serve as the primary hubs along the winding Hocking River in this part of Athens County. The landscape is defined by its series of elevated ridges, such as Scatter Ridge and Tick Ridge, which rise above a complex network of waterways including Sharps Run, Federal Creek, and Miller Run. The settlement pattern follows both the river valley and these high ridges, connecting smaller communities like Canaanville and Broadwell via a web of township and county roads. Numerous burial sites are scattered throughout the hills, including Carthage Cem, Asbury Cem, and Sterling Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research in Carthage Township. Large portions of the eastern terrain are preserved within the Wayne National Forest, where the topography remains relatively undeveloped compared to the settled river corridor where Cole and Stringtown are situated.
