About this map

Fort Laurens, the site of Ohio's only Revolutionary War fort, serves as a significant historical anchor near the southern bend of the Tuscarawas River. This area shows a dense concentration of lineage-rich sites, with numerous small burial grounds such as Zion Cem, Henline Cem, and Shepler Cem scattered across the township lines of Stark and Tuscarawas counties. The village of Bolivar sits at the nexus of the river and Sandy Creek, illustrating a landscape shaped by water-driven settlement patterns that persist into the 21st century.

Further north, the transitions from the outskirts of Navarre and Richville toward the more industrial character of North Industry are visible. Significant water features like Bolivar Lake and Lake Andreadis punctuate the terrain, while the extensive network of roads such as Navarre Rd SW and Shepler Church Ave SW connect older rural farmsteads to emerging suburban developments. The map provides a detailed view of the rural-to-suburban shift in this portion of the Stark Co region.
