1915 Map of Coshocton

About this map

Coshocton and its industrial outskirts serve as the focal point of this 1912–1913 survey, where the Muskingum River forms at the confluence of the Walhonding and Tuscarawas. The landscape is a study in early 20th-century transportation, featuring the Ohio Canal with its Upper, Middle, and Lower Basins still clearly etched alongside the Pennsylvania and Wheeling and Lake Erie railroads. A notable engineering feature is the Sixmile Dam on the Walhonding River, which historically fed the canal system. North of the river valleys, the terrain rises into a dense network of rural school districts, including the Mound School and Greenhorn School, and small agricultural hubs like Becks Mills and Bloomfield Clark PO. The map also captures several distinct river crossings and the former canal town of Roscoe before its 20th-century preservation efforts, showing the area as a functional rail-and-water junction.
