About this map

Walhonding sits at the confluence of the Mohican River and the Kokosing River, where they merge to form the Walhonding River. This landscape in eastern Ohio is defined by its deep river valleys and the prominent Rabbit Ridge to the west. The area maintains a strong agricultural character, evidenced by operations like Widows Point Farms, Farmers Orchards, and the Spring Creek Dairy. Small settlements and crossroads such as New Guilford and Esto are scattered throughout the township, often marked by local burial grounds like New Guilford Cem and Giffen Cem.

Genealogists will find a high density of named family and church cemeteries, including the Butler Baptist Cem, Saint Matthews Episcopal Cem, and the Winding Fork Evangelical Cem. The complex drainage network of Wakatomika Cr, Mohawk Cr, and Winding Fork illustrates the dissected topography of the region, while a post-war network of township roads connects these long-established rural communities across the county line between Knox and Coshocton counties.
