About this map

The border between Tuscarawas Co and Guernsey Co divides a landscape defined by the intricate branching of the Clear Fork and Rocky Fork. The settlement of Peoli sits atop the ridges in the north, while the small community of Odell is situated in the southwestern corner of the sheet. The area is notable for its unusually high density of burial sites and rural congregations, reflecting a deeply rooted settlement pattern. From the Couts Family Cem to the Irish Ridge Cem, these landmarks provide a clear genealogy of the families who established farms along the winding township roads. Moving south toward Sugartree Fork, the terrain transitions into more pronounced ridges like Irish Ridge and Colliers Hill. The hydrology of the region is punctuated by Hickory Hollow Lake, a man-made feature that interrupts the natural drainage of Turkey Run.
