Muskingum River Navigation - Sheet 2 Additional Notes: As built, the navigation consisted of eleven dams with associated locks. Most of the dams are of wood crib type. During the Corps of Engineers period, a concrete cap was installed to replace the original wood sheathing. Dam 11, Ellis, was rebuilt as a concrete structure by the Corps of Engineers. All locks are of masonry construction with hand operated gates and valves. All locks are 150 feet x 35 feet and a 4'6" lift. Locks have wooden miter gates at both ends. Lock and Dam 1, which was located at Marietta, OH, just upriver from the junction with the Ohio River was eliminated when dam construction on the Ohio raised the river level and eliminated the need for the lock. The navigation is now a state park and the locks are open on summer weekends and holidays. Locks are being rebuilt by the state, one at a time. Locks and Dams are located as follows: Lock & River Mile Dam Name from the Ohio Side of River Notes 2 Devola, OH 5.8 Left Bank Closed for rebuilding in 2004 3 Lowell, OH 14.2 Left Bank On short canal 4 Beverly, OH 25.1 Left Bank On short canal 5 Luke Chute, OH 34.1 Right Bank 6 Stockport, OH 40.2 Right Bank 7 McConnelsville, OH 49.4 Left Bank On short canal 8 Rokeby, OH 57.4 Left Bank 9 Philo, OH 68.3 Right Bank 10 Zanesville, OH 76.6 Left Bank Tandem Locks on short canal 11 Ellis, OH 85.9 Right Bank At Dresden, OH, a two mile, side cut canal connected the river to the Ohio & Erie Canal at Webbsport. The side cut canal had an aqueduct (now gone) over Wakatomika Creek at the north edge of Dresden and a flight of three separated locks to descend to the river. The three locks are intact without gates in a grassy area next to Lock Street, east of its junction with River Drive..

Parks & Greenspace
2020 MUSKINGUM COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Compiled by: Muskingum County Planning Commission Parks & Greenspace Report Parks & Greenspace Task Force Abstract State parks, forests, nature preserves, scenic waterways, and wildlife areas cover over 34,164 acres of land in Muskingum County. These assets contribute to the county’s tourism industry, which generates over $223,000,000 in annual sales revenue. Recreation contributes $15,000,000 to the local economy annually. Introduction Muskingum County is blessed with an abundance of green spaces. It is the 4th largest county in Ohio with a land mass of 664.6 square miles. Despite its size, the county is sparsely populated having around 86,000 residents. Just over 10% of the county’s land mass was listed as developed during the last census. In contrast, forests cover close to 55% of the land mass, and agriculture occupies just over 30%. The remainder of the county is dotted with scrub/shrub grasslands, wetlands, and open water (see Appendix A). State parks, forests, nature preserves, scenic waterways, and wildlife areas (see Appendix B for a detailed list) cover over 34,164 acres of land in Muskingum County. These assets contribute to the county’s tourism industry, which generates over $223,000,000 in annual sales revenue. Recreation contributes $15,000,000 to the local economy annually. Methodology Muskingum County residents actively participate in outdoor recreation. Understanding the vision of the public for Muskingum County Parks and Green Spaces is paramount. After all, the public is the owner of its community. The Parks and Green Spaces planning process began with a S.W.O.T.

Draft Biological and Water Quality Report - Wills
Division of Surface Water June 2019 TMDL DEVELOPMENT | Draft Biological and Water Quality Report - Wills Creek and Selected Tributaries, 2014 In 2014, Ohio EPA conducted a biological and water quality survey in the Wills Creek watershed. This fact sheet summarizes the findings detailed in the biological and water quality report (BWQR). Report Highlights Wills Creek mainstem has experienced impressive reestablishment of warmwater habitat (WWH) communities and improved habitat scores since Ohio EPA’s 1984 and 1994 water quality surveys. In 1994, Ohio EPA conducted a biological and water quality study of the Wills Creek mainstem at 17 locations. At that time, only one location near the mouth was in full attainment of the WWH aquatic life use. Of the 13 biological samples assessed in 2014, nine (69 Figure 1. Sampling locations in the Wills Creek survey largely percent) were fully meeting the WWH aquatic life use and met their existing or recommended aquatic life use four (31 percent) were in partial attainment. Only one mainstem location was meeting for fish in 1994 but in 2014, 10 of the 13 sites sampled met the WWH biocritieria. In the 2014 survey, only one location did not meet for the aquatic insects because of flow alteration from a lowhead dam. The other locations sampled for macroinvertebrates were marginally good to exceptional and showed a major improvement in the number of EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera) and sensitive taxa compared to the 1984 and 1994 surveys. Habitat dramatically improved with an average QHEI score of 62.1. A total of 45 Wills Creek tributaries were sampled at 68 locations with 42 (62 percent) in full attainment, 21 (31 Stakeholder Input percent) in partial attainment and five (7 percent) in non- The Agency is releasing the results from Wills Creek attainment of the assigned aquatic life use.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.
