About this map

The Muskingum River dominates this portion of Morgan County, winding through a landscape shaped by historical land grants and early river-based industry. The map illustrates the complex boundary lines of the Congress Lands North of Old Seioto Company Purchase and the Congress Lands East of Ohio Company Purchase, reflecting the layered surveying history of southeast Ohio. At Stockport, the river’s importance is evident near the Muskingum River Parkway State Park and a local Landing Field.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, from the Friends Burial Ground near Pennsville to the County Infirmary Cem further north. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous runs, such as Bald Eagle Run and Turkey Run, which lead back to family-named landmarks like Patterson Ridge and the Blackmer Cem. Evidence of resource extraction is visible through several Oil Wells and a Gas Well scattered across the uplands.
