About this map

The confluence of the Walhonding River and Tuscarawas River defines the industrial and geographic heart of this central Ohio region. Near the southern edge, Coshocton and the town of Roscoe stand at the junction where these waters form the Muskingum River. Traces of the historic Ohio Canal are clearly visible, including the Upper, Middle, and Lower Basin near Canal Lewisville, reflecting the importance of water transport and hydraulic power in the early 20th century.

Rural life is documented through a dense network of country schools, such as Mt Dispute School, Stony Point School, and Soggy Hill School. Settlement patterns are well-defined in the townships of Mill Creek, White Eyes, and Keene, while the Pennsylvania railroad line cuts through the valleys to serve outposts like Blissfield and Helmick Station. Distinctive local landmarks including the County Infirmary and Sixmile Dam provide essential context for the social and infrastructure history of the county.
