About this map

The Licking River and Muskingum River converge at Zanesville, a significant industrial and transportation hub in the early twentieth century. This survey reveals a landscape defined by its deep connectivity, where the historic National Road and Maysville Pike intersect with a dense network of steam and electric transit. The Ohio Electric Ry and Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley RR trace the river valleys, serving established communities like Putnam and South Zanesville.

Beyond the urban core, the terrain rises toward Flint Ridge and Moxahala Ridge, punctuated by a remarkable density of rural schoolhouses and churches. Genealogists can locate family landmarks such as the Meadow Farm Church or Johnson School, while the southern reaches near Crooksville and Roseville show the developing pottery and clay industries through features like Ironspot and Cannelville. The presence of the County Infirmary and the recreational Moxahala Park provides a window into the social infrastructure of Muskingum County during this era.
