About this map

Birmingham sits at a crossroads in the hills where the border of Tuscarawas and Guernsey counties meets, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its numerous small burial grounds and family plots. Genealogists will find a high density of rural cemeteries, including the Couts Family Cem, Wesley Chapel Cem, and the dual Old Peoli Cem and New Peoli Cem near the settlement of Peoli.

Watersheds crisscross the region, with Clear Fork and Sugartree Fork flowing through the southern reaches toward Salt Fork Lake. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Colliers Hill and is connected by a network of rural routes such as Irish Ridge Rd and Birmingham Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary rural Ohio landscape where small unincorporated communities like Odell and Pleasant Valley maintain their historical footprint amidst a complex system of creeks and timbered ridges.
