2013 Map of Zanesville West

About this map

The Licking River and Muskingum River Lock and Dam Number 10 anchor this detailed look at the Zanesville area, where the river-defined landscape meets growing residential neighborhoods. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Springfield Chapel Cem and McKendree Cem, dot the western hills, providing a clear spatial record for genealogy and local history research. The elevation of Putnam Hill and Nob Hill overlooks the dense street grids of Zanesville, Putnam, and Brighton, while suburban expansions reach toward Meadowbrook and North Zanesville. Education and transit play a central role in the landscape, visible through the Zane State Coll campus and the small Johns Landing Airport near the Thompson Run drainage. This survey also records the industrial and recreational reach of the waterways, from Dillon Lake in the northwest to the winding Moxahala Creek in the south.
