About this map

The confluence of the Walhonding River and Tuscarawas River forms the Muskingum River at Coshocton, a major regional hub defined by its industrial and transit history. By the early 1960s, the landscape south and east of the city was heavily marked by extensive Strip Mines and a sprawling Gas Field, illustrating the area's reliance on extractive industries. The city center itself is densely mapped, featuring the Courthouse, the County Fairground, and numerous educational institutions like Central High Sch.

To the northeast, the U S Hydrologic Experiment Station occupies a significant portion of the uplands near White Eyes Cem. Transport infrastructure is prominent throughout, with the New York Chicago and St Louis railroad skirting the riverbanks and the historical Mudport Basin serving as a reminder of earlier canal-era commerce. Rural life persists in the outlying townships of White Eyes and Keene, where family names are preserved at Amity Cem and Reamer Cem.
