2016 Map of Watertown

About this map

Barlow and Watertown anchor this rural landscape in southeastern Ohio, where the drainage systems of the West Branch Wolf Creek and South Branch Wolf Creek converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of township roads and section lines that cross the Morgan Co and Washington Co boundary. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, including Barlow Central Cem, Layman Cem, and Murdock Cem, scattered among small settlements like Layman and Vincent. The map captures the persistent agrarian character of the region, where family-named landmarks like Harra Bridge and Bell Bridge span the winding forks of Wolf Creek. The presence of numerous ponds, such as Wagner Pond, and small tributaries like Whiteoak Cr illustrates the intricate hydrology that has shaped the local farmsteads and transport routes for generations.
