About this map

The Tuscarawas River and the legacy of the Ohio and Erie Canal shape this landscape as it appeared in the late 1950s and updated through 1970. The southern portion is anchored by Canal Fulton, where the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads parallel the river's path. Further north, the massive industrial footprint of Barberton is evident through significant Tailings piles and large-scale water management facilities.

The central and northern sections are defined by the extensive Portage Lakes State Park system, including Turkeyfoot Lake and Rex Lake, alongside the large Nimisila Reservoir. These water bodies are surrounded by mid-century growth in Manchester and Cottage Grove. Local history details include several Township Schs, the Manchester Cem, and specialized landmarks like the Infant of Prague Villa and the Rodeo Arena near Tritt Road.
