About this map

The confluence of the Licking River and Muskingum River anchors this landscape, where the urban center of Zanesville transitions into the industrial and agricultural outskirts of Muskingum County. This 1990s record reflects the city's complex topography, from the residential blocks of North Zanesville and Licking View to the rising terrain of Owens Hills. The map captures a detailed inventory of local institutions, including the Good Samaritan Hospital, the County Fairground, and numerous educational sites like Hancock Jr High Sch and Putnam Hill Sch.

Beyond the city limits, the map illustrates the ongoing impact of resource extraction and water management. Strip Mine operations appear south of Coppermill Road, while the north is defined by the Dillon State Wildlife Area and Dillon Lake. Traces of the region's surveying history are preserved in the North Boundary Congress Lands and the Military Base Line, providing essential context for genealogists tracing property records in townships like Springfield and Newton.
