About this map

The boundary between Tuscarawas and Guernsey Counties divides a landscape defined by deeply carved stream valleys and high ridges. Small settlements like Birmingham and Peoli serve as focal points for a network of country roads, including Peoli Rd and County Highway 870. The mapping of numerous burial sites, such as the Couts Family Cem, Old Peoli Cem, and Irish Ridge Cem, provides a detailed record for family historians tracing early residents of the region.

Drainage systems like Clear Fork and Sugartree Fork flow through the southern terrain, where Hickory Hollow Lake sits as a notable water body. High elevations at Colliers Hill and along Irish Ridge overlook a predominantly rural area that includes the community of Odell and the northern reaches of Salt Fork Lake. The presence of established church sites like Wesley Chapel Cem reflects the longstanding social foundations of these small Ohio townships.
