About this map

The Muskingum River dominates this mid-century portrait of Morgan County, tracing a sweeping oxbow as it flows south past Stockport and the riverfront hamlet of Hooksburg. Along the western bank, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad follows the water's edge, highlighting the valley's role as a vital transportation corridor. The map preserves the locations of several community foundations, including the County Infirmary and its associated Infirmary Cem, alongside numerous country churches like Hopewell Ch and the Brick Church.

Genealogists can find specifically named resting places such as the Friends Burial Ground near Pennsville and the Blackmer Cem further south. The landscape is dotted with active resource extraction sites, including various Oil Wells and a Sand and Gravel Pit. A significant historical landmark, the Big Bottom State Memorial Park, sits on the river's eastern bank, marking a site of early frontier conflict within the Windsor township boundaries.
