2023 Map of Stewart

About this map

The Hocking River carves a winding path through the heart of this Athens County landscape, linking the historic riverbank settlements of Canaanville, Guysville, and Stewart. This 2023 edition highlights a region defined by its narrow valleys and ridges, such as Scatter Ridge and Riley Hill, much of which is preserved within the Wayne National Forest. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map provides a precise census of rural burial grounds including Guysville Cem, Canaanville Cem, and Sterling Cem near Riley Hill. The southern reaches are shaped by the East Branch Shade River, while the northern hills around Broadwell and Kilvert are drained by Federal Creek. The intricate road network, featuring routes like S Canaan Rd and Coolville Ridge, reveals how modern transit continues to follow the historic contours of the river valley and its tributary runs like Mush Run and Sharps Run.
