About this map

The confluence of the Mohican River and the Kokosing River forms the Walhonding River in the northeast corner of this quadrangle, a landmark hydrographic feature that defines the local geography. This rural landscape across the Knox and Coshocton county line is dotted with small, historic settlements including Newcastle, Esto, and New Guilford. The terrain is characterized by dissected plateaus and prominent heights such as Rabbit Ridge, which separates the drainages of Brush Run and Singer Run.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of community anchors, particularly the numerous denominational cemeteries such as Butler Baptist Cem and Saint Matthews Episcopal Cem. The map also preserves the locations of rural congregations like Riley Chapel and the Winding Fork Evangelical Cem. The intricate network of township roads and county routes, including Coshocton Rd and Newcastle Rd, illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of this central Ohio region.
