2019 Map of Canton East

About this map

The Stark County Courthouse and the industrial corridors of Canton anchor this 2019 survey, showing the complex urban and suburban development within the Tuscarawas River watershed. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Middle Branch and East Branch Nimishillen Creek, which historically dictated the growth patterns of the city and its surrounding boroughs. From the institutional grounds of Walsh University in the northwest to the smaller settlements of East Canton, Louisville, and Waco, the map captures a modern snapshot of eastern Stark County. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, including the Hebrew Cem, Saint Louis Cem, and Kountze Memorial Cem. Outside the urban center, the terrain transitions into the recreation-focused areas around Valley Lake and Varian Lake, illustrating the post-industrial character of the Ohio landscape.
