About this map

The Muskingum River flows through the northwest corner of this region, where the Randle Bridge connects the growing outskirts of Coshocton. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Wills Creek, which feeds into the large Wills Creek Lake further south. This waterway dictates the placement of older settlements like Marquand Mills and Wills Creek, as well as numerous rural burial sites that serve as vital links to local family history.

Genealogists will find a high density of cemeteries, including Saint Pauls Cem, Old Catholic Cem, and the Marquands Mills Cem. The transition from the more developed Pleasant Valley in the north to the reservoir-dominated terrain in the south illustrates the area's hydrologic management. Roadways such as Reiker Hill Rd and Franklin Twp 275 traverse the hills between these significant water bodies.
