About this map

The agricultural and industrial transition of the Wayne and Stark County border is evident in this early 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the east-west corridor of the New York Chicago and St Louis Railroad and the Pennsylvania line, which intersect the prominent settlement of Dalton. To the south, the influence of Mennonite heritage is visible near Kidron, where landmarks like Sonnenberg School and Sonnenberg Cemetery appear alongside Kidron Station.

Resource extraction and local industry are highlighted by numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the Sugar Creek and Baughman townships. In the northeast, the presence of a Strip Mine and Mine Dump near North Lawrence suggests the edge of the regional coal fields. Meanwhile, long-standing community centers like Martins Church and Old Presbyterian Cemetery reflect the deep-rooted rural genealogy of the area before modern development expanded along the main road arteries.
