About this map

Baltic serves as the focal point for this 1961 topographical survey, situated at the intersection of Tuscarawas, Coshocton, and Holmes counties. The village sits in a valley formed by Brush Run, while the surrounding hill country is dotted with local institutions like the Grange Hall and Baltic Ch. The landscape reflects an economy balanced between agriculture and mineral extraction, with a Shale Pit and Clay Pit Kilns located near the town center, and various Strip Mine operations scattered across the eastern ridges in Auburn and Bucks townships.

Rural community life is well-documented through a network of country schools and churches, including Union Valley Sch, Meadow Valley Sch, and the Halifax Zion Ch in Crawford township. Transportation is dominated by the New York Chicago and St Louis railroad, which snakes through the Sugar Creek and South Fork Sugar Creek valleys. Further north, the larger settlement of Sugarcreek and the smaller village of Farmersburg mark the edge of this diverse landscape.
