About this map

Canton and its eastern suburbs form a dense network of residential streets and industrial corridors along the forks of the Nimishillen Creek. The suburban expansion includes established communities like Pleasant View, Fairhope, and East Canton, while Walsh Univ occupies a significant campus footprint in the northern section. This 2016 survey documents the intricate street grid of the region, where major thoroughfares such as Tuscarawas St E and Atlantic Blvd NE facilitate movement between the urban core and the outlying city of Louisville.

Numerous cemeteries throughout the area, including Saint Louis Cem, Hebrew Cem, and the Kountze Memorial Union Cem in East Canton, serve as valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians. The landscape is defined by the hydrological divide of the Middle Branch Nimishillen Creek and East Branch Nimishillen Creek, which converge near the city center. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more industrial and rural character near Waco and North Industry, where the Wheeling Pl NE rail line and Sherrick Run navigate the local topography.
