1943 Map of Coshocton

About this map

The Walhonding River and Tuscarawas River converge near the industrial hub of Coshocton, where the Pennsylvania Railroad and remnants of the Canal system define the local transport corridor. This 1943 revision, based on earlier surveys and 1940 aerial photography, captures a landscape of small townships like Bethlehem and White Eyes populated by dozens of numbered and named country schools. Notable infrastructure includes the Six Mile Dam and the County Infirmary on the outskirts of the city. To the north, the terrain transitions into the hills of Holmes County, where rural life centers around places like Becks Mills and New Bedford. The presence of an Oil Field in Clark township and numerous family-named landmarks like Yoder Sch and Sheetz Sch offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing ancestors in the Muskingum River watershed.
