2023 Map of Bolivar

About this map

The Tuscarawas River carves a central path through this landscape, marking a historic boundary between the northern township of Richville and the southern village of Bolivar. This area on the Stark and Tuscarawas county line reveals a dense concentration of lineage-rich sites, including the Fort Laurens Cem and Saint Stephens Cem near the riverbanks. The topographical transition from the industrial outskirts of Massillon and Canton in the north to the more open terrain around East Sparta and Sandyville highlights the shifting land use of the region. Local water features like Beal Run and Sandy Creek support the drainage of this varied terrain, while numerous small cemeteries such as Zutavern Cem and Henline Cem are scattered across the rural townships.
