About this map

The Muskingum River dictates the landscape of this 1961 Morgan County survey, winding through a series of dramatic bends that shaped the early development of Stockport and Hooksburg. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks trace the river's western bank, serving as the primary corridor for commerce and transport. The map highlights several early land divisions, including the Donation Tract and the Congress Lands North of the Ohio Company Purchase, providing a clear look at the original surveying patterns of the region.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by the inclusion of several family-named landmarks and historical sites. Researchers can find the County Infirmary with its associated Infirmary Cem, alongside the Friends Burial Ground near Pennsville. The Big Bottom State Memorial Park marks a significant historical location along the river, while numerous runs like Bald Eagle Run and Turkey Run dissect the interior hills.
