About this map

The agricultural and industrial character of the Wayne and Stark County line is documented in this 1961 survey, which was updated with 1970s revisions. The village of Dalton serves as a central hub, situated along the New York Chicago and Saint Louis Railroad corridor. The landscape is a patchwork of rural township lines including Baughman and Sugar Creek, defined by a dense network of country schools and churches such as Sonnenberg Sch and the Old Presbyterian Cem.

Extractive industries are clearly visible through numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dotting the farm fields, while the eastern edge toward North Lawrence shows signs of larger-scale operations with a Strip Mine and Mine Dump. Waterways like Newman Creek and Beaverdam Creek wind through the terrain, passing through small community clusters like Burton City and East Greenville. This map captures the mid-century transition as long-standing rural institutions remained prominent alongside growing energy exploration.
