Pleasant Grove, OH

Pleasant Grove is a Muskingum County census-designated place near the county’s geographic center, at the southern end of Washington Township. Mill Run drains west through the community, while Wayne Township borders it to the south and Zanesville sits nearby as the county seat. The map is plain but useful: creek, township line, and county-seat neighbor. Pleasant Grove is east-central Ohio in the sort of small place you find by following the water and checking which township boundary you crossed.
