About this map

The county seat of Carrollton serves as the focal point for this eastern Ohio survey, situated at the junction of the Norfolk and Western railroad and several regional routes. The landscape reflects a mix of small-town industry and rural agricultural heritage, with the Carroll Co-Tolson Airport and nearby Fairgrounds marking the town's expansion. Surrounding the village, the terrain is dotted with small family-named settlements and crossroads like Wherrys Crossroads, Toots Crossroads, and Dutch Corners.

Significant genealogy and local history markers are found in the numerous country burial grounds and houses of worship, such as Westview Cem, Lee Cem, and Mt Pleasant Ch. The eastern and southern portions of the map show the impact of the regional coal industry, with visible Strip Mines and several pipelines traversing the hills near Harlem Springs. The transition from early settlements like Petersburgh to mid-century municipal developments such as Waterworks Park provides a clear view of the area's mid-20th-century evolution.
