About this map

The confluence of the Licking River and Muskingum River dominates this mid-2010s landscape, centered on the city of Zanesville. This specific junction is home to the famous Y-Bridge, a rare three-way structural feat that connects the downtown core to western neighborhoods. The map details the suburban and educational development north of the city, featuring the Ohio University-Zanesville Campus and Zane State College alongside the residential expanses of North Zanesville and Meadowbrook.

Southward, the terrain follows the winding course of Moxahala Creek, where settlements like South Zanesville, Maysville, and Darlington line the valley. Rural history remains visible through numerous small burial grounds and places of worship, including Springfield Chapel Cemetery and Wesley Union Cemetery. From the prominent Nob Hill to the recreation areas surrounding Dillon Lake, this survey captures the transition from Muskingum County's urban industrial roots to its outlying wooded ridges and floodplains.
