About this map

Dalton and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Wayne and Stark Counties are defined by a dense concentration of religious and family-owned heritage sites. The influence of the Mennonite community is particularly visible through a series of dedicated burial grounds, including the Salem Mennonite Cem, Sonnenberg Mennonite Cem, and Kidron Mennonite Cem. These features, alongside the Old Presbyterian Cem, anchor the rural history of settlements like Kidron, where the Kidron station once served the local rail corridor.

The terrain is marked by established farmsteads such as Milgood Farms and Farriss Dairy Farms, illustrating the region's enduring dairy and livestock traditions. Water management is central to this working landscape, as evidenced by the Orrville Ditch and Beaverdam Ditch. Further east, the map captures the transition into industrial and suburban edges near Massillon and North Lawrence, while Sugar Cr and Newman Cr provide the primary natural drainage for these fertile plains.
