About this map

Baltic sits at the nexus of the Holmes, Coshocton, and Tuscarawas county lines, anchoring a landscape defined by deeply carved stream valleys and prominent high ground. The drainage pattern of S Fork Sugar Cr and its numerous tributaries, such as Pleasant Valley Cr and Troyer Valley Cr, dictates the placement of the township road network. This rural expanse is punctuated by small settlements like Farmerstown and Ragersville, each maintaining its own local identity through clustered homesteads and small cemeteries.

Local history is preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the ridges, including Fisher Cem, Berger Cem, and Hostetler Cem. The southern portion of the map is dominated by significant landforms like Dividing Ridge and Hothem Ridge, which separate the various branches of the White Eyes Cr and Evans Cr watersheds. The presence of Farmerstown Lake and the Evans Creek Lutheran Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these Ohio townships.
