About this map

Doylestown and its surrounding villages sit at a crossroads of industrial activity and rural land use in Northeast Ohio. The landscape is defined by the broad valley of Chippewa Creek and the Tuscarawas River, where the Penn Central tracks and an Old Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Grade trace the historical movement of coal and manufactured goods. Notable industrial footprints include a massive Underground Gas Storage Field spanning the southern half of the quadrangle and a Filtration Plant near Marshallville.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the hilltop Chestnut Hill Cem to several neighborhood schools such as Harvey Sch and Grill Sch. The map also captures the suburban expansion of Barberton and Norton in the north, contrasting with the smaller, well-established cores of Easton and Clinton. Numerous gas and oil wells are peppered throughout the townships, illustrating the region's long-standing reliance on subterranean resources alongside traditional farming.
