1994 Map of Bolivar
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
The Tuscarawas River carves a deep valley through this landscape, marking a historical divide where the Geographers Line and the Greenville Treaty Line converge near Bolivar. This 1990s-era record documents an area shaped by both frontier history and industrial extraction, featuring the Fort Laurens State Memorial and the Ohio Canal alongside numerous strip mines and a significant reclaimed area. The northern portion transition from the residential outskirts of Richville and North Industry to rural townships dotted with family-named landmarks like Shepler Ch and the Prairie College Sch. Extensive land management is visible through the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, reflecting a landscape dedicated to water control and resource preservation. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including the Battlesburg Cem and Melchimer Cem, which serve as physical markers of the region's long-standing community roots.
