1951 Map of Bolivar
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Tuscarawas River valley in the mid-20th century is defined here by the intersection of early frontier history and modern industrial utility. Near the southern edge, the Fort Laurens State Memorial and its associated Fort Laurens Cem mark the site of the only American fort built in current-day Ohio during the Revolution. The landscape is also a testament to early water transport, showing segments of the Ohio Canal and its proximity to the Norfolk and Western rail lines. Extensive holdings of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District surround the Bolivar Dam Spillway, reflecting significant mid-century flood control projects. Rural life is anchored by numerous small community centers like Richville, North Industry, and Five Point Ch, while the uplands of Pike and Canton townships are dotted with active strip mines and gas wells.
