About this map

The Tuscarawas River carves a path through this landscape, marking a vital water corridor between the settlements of Bolivar and Navarre. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by its numerous burial grounds and family-named landmarks, such as Fort Laurens Cem and Saint Stephens Cem, which provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The northern extent includes the outskirts of Canton and Massillon, while smaller communities like Wilkshire Hills and East Sparta anchor the southern and eastern edges.

Transport and recreation are evidenced by the dense network of local roads and features like the North Industry Sportsmans Club Lake. The convergence of Sandy Creek and the river near Bolivar highlights the historical importance of these waterways in shaping the local geography. Numerous small cemeteries, including Eden Cem, Siffert Cem, and Battlesburg Cem, are scattered across the townships, reflecting the long-established rural communities of Stark and Tuscarawas counties.
