Margaret Creek is a stream and state waterway[1] in Athens and Meigs Counties, Ohio.
[5][6] During the period of 1–1000 AD, population shifts occurred toward the riverine and flood plain resources at Margaret Creek.
[10] Another early pioneer of the Midwest was Isaac Coe (1801–1873) who farmed next to Margaret Creek for a number of years.
[11] John and Moses Hewitt were noted for poling "broadhorns" up the Hocking River to Margaret Creek.
[13] In 1966, the Margaret's Creek Watershed Conservancy District and the Division of Wildlife began acquiring land to build a dam in the mid-1960s.
[20] There are few rock outcrops, and the hillsides are characterized by gentle slopes that are covered with a thick soil mantle.
