2023 Map of Wills Creek

About this map

The Muskingum River flows through the northwest corner of this landscape, where the settlement of Pleasant Valley sits just south of the Coshocton city boundary. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Wills Creek, which meanders through a wide valley floor before reaching the hamlet of Marquand Mills. This area preserves a high density of small rural burial grounds and parish sites, reflecting the long-established communities of the central Ohio hills. Genealogists will find numerous family and denominational landmarks, such as the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Cem, Saint Johns Lutheran Cem, and the Maysville Methodist Cem. The southern portion of the map is marked by the county line between Coshocton and Muskingum counties, cutting through a landscape of ridges and runs that includes the BSA-Muskingum Valley Council Lake and the deep incision of Cassingham Hollow.
