Sample locations were either stratified by drainage area or selected to ensure adequate representation of principal linear reaches. In addition, some sites were selected to support development of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) models or because they are part of Ohio EPA’s reference data set. Four major municipal and two major industrial NPDES permitted entities exist in the study area (Table 1). Beyond assuring that sample locations were adequate to assess these potential influences, the survey was broadly structured to characterize possible effects from other pollution sources. These sources include minor permitted discharges, unsewered communities, agricultural or industrial activities, and oil, gas or mineral extraction.

  • Your Guide to Mohican Country Geographic References –
    YOUR GUIDE TO MOHICAN COUNTRY GEOGRAPHIC REFERENCES By IRV OSLIN Black Fork of the Mohican River — Originates near Shelby, flowing through Richland and Ashland counties. It is impounded by Charles Mill Dam. Downstream of the dam, Black Fork flows under Ohio 603 and Ohio 39, through Perrysville and Loudonville (including the liveries south of the village Ohio 3). The Native American village of Greentown was located on the stretch between Rocky Fork and Perrysville, downstream of County Road 1075. Rocky Fork of the Mohican River flows into Black Fork downstream from Charles Mill Dam. Rocky Fork flows down from Mansfield. Rocky Fork flows under Ohio 603 between Ohio 95 and Ohio 39. Charles Mill Dam — Impounds Black Fork of the Mohican River south of Mifflin. Charles Mill Lake — Not to be confused with Charles Mill Dam. The lake is the body of water behind the dam. Note, Charles Mill Lake and Charles Mill Lake Park are managed by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. The dam is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is NOT Charles Mill Reservoir, as some call it. Charles Mill Lake Park — A Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District-run park on the shores of Charles Mill Lake. Note, the campground, marina and beach are in Ashland County. The western half of the lake and Eagle Point Campground (on Ohio 430) are in Richland County. Cinnamon Lake — The lake itself is an impoundment of Muddy Fork of the Mohican River. The privately run residential community surrounding it is the third- largest in the county after the City of Ashland and Loudonville.

Sponsored and supported by the Institute for Water Resources through its Responses to Climate Change program, this report encapsulates the research of numerous professionals in climatology, meteorology, biology, ecology, geology, hydrology, geographic information technology, engineering, water resources planning, economics, and landscape architecture. The report provides downscaled climate modeling information for the entire basin with forecasts of future precipitation and temperature changes as well as forecasts of future streamflow at numerous gaging points throughout the basin. These forecasts are presented at the Hydrologic Unit Code-4 sub-basin level through three 30-year time periods between 2011 and 2099. The report includes the results of preliminary investigations into the various impacts that forecasted climate changes may have on both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and operating water resources infrastructure.

    Harrison County’s Tappan- Moravian Trail Scenic Byway Harrison County’s Tappan-Moravian Trail Scenic Byway This is a visual tour of beautiful country and historic pictures which depict this important Ohio Byway, one of Ohio’s 25 byways. Red indicates byway’s presence throughout the county’s roads and villages. Tappan-Moravian Trail’s path in the East, North and South sections of Harrison County. The trail was one of the major stagecoach routes in the area until the development of the railroad which bypassed Deersville and the ridge route of the trail. The Trail was also known in history as the Williamson’s Trail since Col. David Williamson led the men who participated in the 1782 Gnadenhutten Massacre as Crawford’s defeated army fled eastward from pursuing Indians. The Union Hotel in Deersville was an important stagecoach stop. It has been renovated, by Tom & Sharkey Bell of Deersville, as the Union Bell Hotel, and is available for guest lodging and group meetings. The Buckeye Trail intersects the scenic byway east of Deersville and travels through Deersville toward Clendening Lake. The Buckeye Trail Barn is accessed from the byway at the Beall Road intersection A few years ago the byway was extended from State Route 250 and intersecting at State Route 646 as it progresses north towards Scio, a famous pottery town known worldwide for Scio Pottery, 1933-1986. From there the trail goes onto State Route 646 to New Rumley, birthplace of General George Armstrong Custer. There is an Ohio Historical Site displaying Custer’s statue, a kiosk of Custer’s life, and the Custer Museum, located in the church beside the birthplace.
