1994 Map of Stewart

About this map

The Hocking River carves a winding path through the center of this Athens County landscape, defining the development of river-bottom settlements like Guysville and Stewart. While the rugged uplands are largely preserved within the Wayne National Forest, the region's industrial history is marked by an active Oil Field in the north and a Quarry near the riverbanks. Local genealogy is well-represented through rural landmarks such as the Rome-Canaan High Sch and several country congregations, including East Canaan Ch and Asbury Ch. The map also preserves the memory of smaller locales and infrastructure, from the settlement at Broadwell to the transit history evidenced by Old Tunnel Road. Tributaries like Federal Creek and Mush Run intersect the ridges, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that shaped these Appalachian foothills.
