1963 Map of Birmingham

About this map

Birmingham sits at the center of this topographical landscape, where the rolling divide between Tuscarawas Co and Guernsey Co shapes the settlement patterns of the early 1960s. The region is defined by a dense network of creek forks, including Rocky Fork, Clear Fork, and Dunlap Creek, which provide the low-lying routes for local transit while small churches and cemeteries crown the surrounding ridges. These rural landmarks, such as Irish Ridge Ch and Cumberland Cem, suggest a history of tight-knit upland communities established along high ground like Colliers Hill.
