About this map

Campbell Hill and Mt Miserable anchor this high-elevation corner of Logan County, where the headwaters of the Mad River and several local creeks carve through the landscape. The settlement of Zanesfield sits at a crossroads near the center of the sheet, surrounded by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Tharps Run Cem, Goshen Cem, and Marmon Valley Cem. This concentration of cemeteries suggests a deep-rooted agricultural history and a stable pattern of early pioneer settlement.

To the south, the namesake Macochee Castle stands near the winding Macochee Cr, while the larger town of Bellefontaine occupies the northwestern corner. The terrain transitions from the distinct ridges of Bristol Ridge and Hadley Bottom to the broader valley near West Liberty. This topography is notably utilized at Valley Hi, which developed alongside the area's natural slopes. From the waters of Drumm Pond to the banks of Blue Jacket Cr, the map documents a region where historic landmarks and cemeteries are preserved amid the contemporary geography of central Ohio.
